Make sure your dog knows they're loved and wanted. The calmness that helps provide helps a lot when you're training.
Also please socialize your dog. Dog parks can be very scary for a puppy, so it's important to try to ease into the socializing. Maybe by other puppy meet ups or if you have friends with dogs.
Great advise! Both points equally!
A loving home & understanding that not all dog-dog interactions are good. Ensure they have a way out if they're not happy with any other dog.
I second the socializing. We got our boys when they were 6 months an after bringing them home realized they were not socialized at all. It’s been a struggle but we’re finally getting them comfortable with family, friends and other dogs.
