Training for a 6month old pup

    how should we train our 6 month old pup. I say is it right to put your 6 month old pup to a 10 - 15 min mill work out? And a spring pole training once a week?

    Thanks, any comment would be welcome.

    No more than 5 min mill work for a pup that age, and NOT every day.
    MAYBE 5 min 3 x/ week...just to get him used to mill work for when he is older.
    You can start springpole work, but keep it short !!!!
    Even if the dog really loves it...you can mess up his teeth.
    2-3 min / day MAX !!!!
    Flirt pole is actually better IMO...helps with agility, and is just overall fun play that will not hurt the pup.
    Hand walking is the best...about 2-3 miles is great...
    no need for overkill at this age.

    The main thing is to get the pup used to the mill which ever it may be like slat mill or electric mill or carpet mill so that when hes older he wont be afraid of it.
