- Start with basic obedience training

Basic Obedience Training
Begin with simple commands like sit, stay, and come. Use positive reinforcement and rewards to encourage good behavior. Consistency is key, so practice these commands daily in short sessions.
Potty Training
Establish a regular feeding and potty schedule to help your puppy learn when and where to go. Use positive reinforcement when they eliminate in the correct spot and be patient as accidents are inevitable during the learning process.
Socialization
Expose your puppy to different people, animals, and environments to help them become well-adjusted and confident. Gradually introduce new experiences and provide positive reinforcement to create positive associations. Regular playdates with other dogs can also aid in socialization.
