You don't need to get your dog ready in special training equipment.
Your pet is usually ready whenever you are.
It is recommended that you train in several 5 to 15-minute sessions, for a total of 30 to 45 minutes per day.
This is easier than it sounds.
Every time you interact with your dog, you have a great opportunity to train him.
By incorporating your practice sessions into your dog's daily routine, he learns that responding to your behavior cues earns him rewards, it's not just something he does when you have a leash in your hand.
