2. Training Sessions Last Too Long
Call time on your session once you have some encouraging outcomes. Your dog will become bored if you schedule too long training sessions, much as people would. Rather, exercise in reasonable chunks so that everyone finds more enjoyment and benefit. Based on the age, attention span, and energy level of your dog, the optimal training session should run five to fifteen minutes. Puppies especially have shorter attention spans and might require even more short sessions. Many brief workouts spread over the day are significantly more successful than one big, taxing one. Look for indications of tiredness or distraction in your dog—such as staring away, lying down, or expressing apathy towards goodies. Finish each session on a good note by giving your dog a command they know well so they will feel successful and motivated for future training session.
