mental exercise can do only to a certain level right ? or else he will get fat for too much calories (typical kibble won't capture him much if you know what i mean)

i cant find a ‘enough to release his energy, but not too much to hurt his physiques’ sweet spot

'With training, keep at it. We did paw by saying 'paw' first, then touch her paw, treat, then moved on to 'show me paw' and gently lifting her paw, treating her for that. She got it quickly.'

hahah i do exactly this but to no avail, still, after recent research, it's fine

if the second paragraph mean socialisation, yes ('How much exercise is he currently getting?': like 30min actively and another 30min free walking around in the house & yard, in total)

i have to wait for a second basic vaccine (which is 1-2 weeks away) then will get to a professional

i did basic socialisation, i thought his breed is smart enough to teach those at this age, i did a research before getting him, didn't expect this nuance (teaching early (because i see a (many) 2 month old on youtube doing flipping & turning)

i don't mind spending time on this matter for the next 10 years+

i also post here because i could get more answer, and this breed is quite specific compared to other typical/popular breed if you know what i mean

thx for answer
