5. Special reminder from experts
1. Avoid training when your dog is tired or excited. The best time is 30 minutes before a meal.
2. Repeat the same instruction no more than 20 times a day to prevent resistance.
3. Mixing verbal commands and gesture commands can improve memory effect by 30%
4. The total training time for puppies (3-6 months old) should not exceed 15 minutes per day
Through the above structured training system, combined with the recently popular "five-minute distributed training method" (that is, multiple short training times a day), 83% of owners reported significant behavioral improvements within 3 weeks. Remember to be patient during the training process, every dog has its own learning pace!
