Each action may be trained many times, and the same action may be trained for many days. This requires a certain amount of patience from the dog owner.

Take your dog for a walk every day and learn one action every day. You shouldn’t learn too many actions, as this will only be counterproductive. Chow Chow is a kind of dog that likes to eat.

Carry out training at a fixed excretion place every time, so as to keep the home clean. If something is wrong, it should be corrected promptly.
