When training a akita to do something, make sure that your voice is clear and your tone is firm.
When teaching, the dog may begin to lose interest, so get him to do an activity he likes and can achieve, praise him for it and finish training, play short game, and try again later in the day.

The training lessons should be short as possible. Start with 10 minutes at first and the gradually - if the akita is not loosing interest - extend the lessons. Many short are more useful then 1 long one.
