Some common mistakes people make when training a dog include:
 • not providing consistent reinforcement and rewards-not using positive reinforcement-being too heavy-handed when disciplining-not being patient enough-not having enough time to dedicate to the training-not socializing the pup enough
 • expecting too much from the dog too soon
 • relying too much on treats for rewards
 • not setting boundaries and rules for the dog
 • not establishing the parent-dog relationship.
