hi! how long can I train my puppy without stopping? I am training him to walk nicely on a leash, heel and more stuff, and I want to make sure I don't do it too long.

5 1/2 months is still very young and puppies at that age cannot really concentrate for long yet. So if you keep the lessons short (10 to 15 minutes) and fun and interesting, your puppy will enjoy them and learn well.
