02
Do separate training time from play time (keep training time sacred)
03
Only use “NO” for all unwanted behaviors
04
Follow through on any command you present
05
Always use hand signals with verbal command
06
Always keep leash on while training
07
Always correct and redirect with what you want your dog to do
08
Always be firm in commands and use of dog’s name with pleasant intonation (your dog should not cower out of fear)
09
Always look for the difference in being appeased and wanting a command
TRAPS TO AVOID WHEN TRAINING

Never negotiate with your dog in your voice (mean what you say)
02
NEVER, EVER HIT DOG WITH ANYTHING UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE
03
Never use your dog’s name with any negative sound
04
Never allow your dog to play the “inch up” game
05
Never give your dog people food if you don’t want it to beg
06
Never leave your dog in the sun for too long
07
Never leave your dog in a crate more than its bladder can handle (new puppies usually 2 hours)
08
Never let your dog run free inside until it is more than 70% managed through training
09
Never correct without redirection command
10
Never get too complacent early and get fooled by a sense of false security. Time and repetition will ingrain obedience.
11
Never fail to follow through on ANY command.
