Do you stick with one obedience goal at a time until he masters it or can you throw in two?
Like you teach him how to sit and he sat without struggle a few times so you throw in the come command with the sit.
Suggestions? Is limiting 10 treats per day too much? Suggestions?

How many days should you stay on one command? Do you teach him twice a day(a session in the morning and affternoon) or once?

I think that you are supposed to work on one command at a time and don't start on a new one until he really has it down. That way he won't get confused when learning them.
As for the treats, I don't know but 10 seems like a lot. I try not to give my dog more than 5 per day. Depends on the size of your dog compared to the treat and how much exercise your dog gets.

You can work on more than one command at a time as long as it looks a little different. Sit and come would be two things you would work on at once. I wouldn't work on Lay down until sit was close to mastered.
When you are asking about 10 treats per day are you talking about for training? What kind of treats are you using? and what size? When training my dog he gets more than 10 treats a day but I usually either buy the really small bite size training treats or cut up hot dogs or something like that into really small pieces so I get maybe 30 treats out of one hotdog. Depending on your dog you can also have them work for part or all of their meals, if you train around feeding time.
It is better to do short interspersed training so do 3 15 min. sessions a day instead of 1 45 min session. They can also help with training in 1 session work on sit, another come and another stay or something like that. Then you can intermix them once something is mastered.

Training a dog you should aim for one trick at a time and then keep working on the learned trick while teaching the dog a new trick. 10 treats seems like too much. What I do is I get science diet training treats, they are about the size and shape of a quarter, and I tear small pieces of it to give it to her she just needs a taste to be happy and encouraged to keep doing her tricks. One of those treats can be spread into about 20 tricks.

Not supposed to start training till 6 months old. Then the main thing is to make a connection with the dog so it pays close attention to your commands.

Why don't you get a book on how to train your puppy properly, so you know what you are doing and you and your puppy will be happier?!

Maybe you should put your puppy on a training area where someone will train him/her!
