Main tip It's about training the human (i.e. you) not the puppy

Second point: Big rewards for new behaviours you want to promote like teaching new obedience and slowly reduce rewards as time goes on/increase difficulty for same rewards

Do not punish, punishment is attention and gives its own reward when a dog is bored. Also pupuy didn't sign up for this so what right so you have to punish

Final point If a dog training class does not cover this or goes all pack leader shite, walk away.

    This is very good! Train yourself, not the dog! Combine with the below.

    A dog is not a toy, machine or servant. It is a living animal and has wants and feelings just like you.

    Respect it.

    Give it attention, a family, care. Ignore stereotypes. It is your child.

    It never behaves badly as it has no concept of such a thing and remember that it does not understand English (or whatever language you speak).
