There are several techniques you can use to train your dog without causing it distress.  One effective technique is positive reinforcement, where you reward good behavior with treats and praise. You can also use exercises like play games that involve fetch, puzzle toys, obedience drills, short runs in a safe area, and other activities to provide mental and physical stimulation while bonding with your pet. Additionally, make sure that you're providing appropriate exercise and rest for your pup each day based on its age and health condition to avoid over-exertion. Finally, don't forget to be patient and consistent throughout the process as well as socialize your pup in different environments from time-to-time so that it can be comfortable engaging with people outside of its immediate family.

Positive reinforcement is a key technique for training your dog without causing distress. Start by rewarding desired behaviors with treats, praise, and reward-based toys. To encourage unwanted behaviors to stop, provide positive distraction in the form of interactive games or activities when the behavior first starts. Additionally, providing mental stimulation through problem-solving puzzles or scented/food-dispensing toys are great ways to help tire out your dog while reinforcing desired behaviors
