What are the best ways to train my puppy?

The best way to train your puppy is by using positive reinforcement techniques, frequent, rewarding play sessions, and consistent, gentle correction to reinforce desired behaviors. Be sure to break up training sessions into short bursts and provide frequent rewards, like treats or affection, when your pup performs a desired behavior. It is also important to be patient and consistent—if your pup makes a mistake, don't punish them. Instead, calmly explain the mistake and show them the right behavior. Be persistent and don't get frustrated—training will take time and practice.
