First, you need to understand that puppies have different personalities than adult dogs. Some puppies will learn more quickly than others. If you are having trouble with your puppy then it may be because he is having a hard time learning. Puppies learn differently than adults. They tend to learn by trial and error. For example, if you put them in a situation where they do not like to go outside and they try to go outside and you push them back then they will associate this action with going outside. This is why it is important to pay attention to your puppy and notice when he wants to go outside.

Next, you need to make sure that you are using the right type of training method. There are many different types of methods to train your puppy. Some of the most popular methods include clicker training, classical conditioning, positive reinforcement, and dominance based training.
You should also make sure that you are using consistent training methods. When you are inconsistent then your puppy will not know what to expect from you. He will also get confused about what you want him to do. This is why it is so important that you keep training your puppy consistently.

Lastly, you need to make sure you are using the right amount of training methods. Too much training can actually make your puppy worse off. This is why it is very important to use just the right amount of training methods.
