I'd recommend 5 training sessions a day for between 5-10 mins at a time as a pup.. Short bursts to keep him interested are better than long ones with him getting bored and frustrated.. I still have to do this with Max and he's 18 months lol just a bit dopey! Bis has 2 15 minute sessions a day

Yes short sessions, as many as you can fit in Best when they arn't too tired or too excited at first, although before a meal is good when they are hungry, if your using treat based training!

Just stick with short training sessions and always end with something he can do well and give him a treat.
