How to do it? Start simple obedience and training activities for Little Jack from day one. Do not be embarrassed that he is still so small. Small, but very smart. Don’t expect miracles of obedience right away, have patience, be consistent, and be persistent.
The lessons should be very short at first, literally 1-2 minutes. Gradually, you will increase the time, but still no more than 30 minutes, otherwise it will be difficult for Jack to concentrate his attention on you.
#1 Always use positive reinforcement (reward) when the command is executed correctly.
#2 This reinforcement can be individual for each dog; someone responds well to a treat, someone to playful elements, someone to stroking and praise.
#3 Never yell at the dog or use a rude tone when Jack does not listen to you or does not at all what you want him to do.
