Training the very small dog

Training a tiny one is much different than training the larger dogs I have always had. I first realized that with Fada. Daz, being a puppy is even smaller and teaching new behaviors more of a challenge. Something I have found helpful is to get down on her level. I often sit on a low stool to do shaping sessions with the clicker so that I can see what the dog is doing more easily and she is not looking UP at me.

Would love to hear other training tips for the wee ones.
