i am tring for the first time today with my 12 week old shih tzu puppy with basic commands such as sit and lie down,i am usung treats to do this but the problem is he just sniffs the treat and walks off?the treat doesent get his attention,any ideas?

Before we got our puppy, we thought we did not need to go to puppy kindergarten because we had read a lot of books and articles on how to train a lab puppy, what would be the potential puppy problems and stuff like that.

Then after we brought him home, we thought maybe we should sign him up for puppy class ONLY because we want him to get socialize with other puppies.
