Training a puppy could be overwhelming. Make sure to persevere as training your dog is very important. It is important that you use only positive training methods. Patience and consistency are key things to have in puppy training. Spend a certain amount of time every day to train your dog. Typically, it’s best to spend about a half an hour for each session, since this is most time you can probably get out of them. Any longer and they become bored.
Always ensure your dog is getting enough exercise. Dogs become bored very easily. A bored dog will try and find something interesting to do, and training is not usually interesting. You will find that your dog will pay more attention to you when it is exercised and happy. Go on runs or long walks together.
Stay very consistent and persistent when starting your crate training regimen. Always give the pup the option to go to the bathroom after leaving his crate. Eventually, the puppy will learn to wait to pee until given the opportunity.
Avoid restraining two dogs too closely together. It is just too easy for dogs in such a situation to tangle their leads together, and this can lead to serious injuries for both of them. If a big dog is tangled up with a little one, they may get so wrapped up that air passages are blocked off, and one could potentially die.

Additionally, the use of devices such as shock collars can break your dog’s spirit and ruin him as an enjoyable family pet. In short, using techniques like this could have negative effects.
