Start by sitting so that your pup can see your hands clearly. Put a treat in your hand and hold it in a fist in front of you for your pup to smell. When the pup puts it's nose on your hand, tell the pup to "leave it" and take your hand away enough so that there is no contact by the puppy. Then put your fist back in front of you again. When the pup nuzzles your hand again, repeat the "leave-it" command. Repeat this process over and over for as long as it takes until your puppy finally realizes that it isn't suppose to pay attention to your fist with the treat in and turns it's head away, then tell the puppy "good dog" and give it the treat.
After the puppy has the right idea and leaves the treat alone, move on to using the command with other things you want the pup to ignore. This same process is used to train using aversion training which is what is recommended if you have a dog that is aggressive with people or dogs when you're out walking.
If you're at home and for example the puppy starts to chew on furniture, make sure to keep a spray bottle of vinegar and water handy, give the puppy the "leave-it" command. (For this instance and others like it, like peeing in the house, I use the "aaaant" command interchangably.) If the pup doesn't leave it, spritz it in the face with the vinegar water, repeating the "leave-it" or "aaant" command. It won't take long for the puppy to leave anything alone reliably. This is really important if for example your puppy starts to chase a critter, possibly toward the road. If you've conditioned your puppy properly, they should stop chasing the animal.
If this does not work, try using the "let's play" command. You always have to stay one step ahead of your Klee Kai.
If the dog is chasing the critter toward the street, you can also use a command called no street which you may want to train your pup just in case they don't stop.
