Teaching your puppy to focus on you should be your main goal of puppy playtime, this means every 10-15 seconds you are approaching your puppy, collar-grabbing and practicing skills before sending them out go play again. Breaking up the play this often also helps puppies learn to take breaks and keeps the play from getting too amped up. Randomly leashing up during this activity will also prevent your puppy from seeing the leash as the end of playtime. While your puppy is out exploring the room they will come into contact with other puppy parents and be able to practice positive interactions with strangers.
