Getting a brand new puppy trained can be daunting. However, dog training is important not only for your pet's safety, but for other people's safety as well as your property's safety. You must employ positive methods when training your dog. Dog training requires patience and consistency. Put aside some times every day to train your pet. Twenty to thirty minutes is fine, since that is the longest time they usually pay attention for. They will get bored if you take any longer.
