I agree with this. You should start your girl with short training sessions, in the same place, such as a quiet bedroom, or den or whatever room in your house provides NO distractions and nothing to sniff, lol

Once she has some of the basics down, progress to very short sessions outside, depending on what you are training. She is a pup and they do this, especially when going to new places, new smells, lol

Have you taken her to a puppy training class? This could be very helpful as well.
