1. Be patient and consistent in your training efforts, as Shelties are intelligent but can be sensitive to abrupt changes.
2. Use positive reinforcement techniques such as treats and praise.
Socialization is crucial for Shelties, so exposing your dog to various environments, people, and other animals from an early age can help prevent behavioral issues and promote a well-adjusted pet.
3. Keep training sessions short and fun to maintain your puppy's attention.
