[quote=Anonymous] OP, 1. Calm down because dogs sense emotions extremely well. Tell everyone to be calm and confident. 2. Think. There may be several good options for every situation. Use your common sense before you freak out, because see 1. 3. An excellent book which is often recommended is the Monks of New Skete about raising puppies. 4. Know that exercise is key to raising a healthy and well-behaved dog. First solution in the case of misbehavior is more exercise, always. 5. Crating is an American thing. In Europe we rarely crate dogs. Do what you think is best, this is an example of a situation where you actually won't traumatize your dog. 6. Feed them quality food, but not too much. 7. Insist on perfect obedience to simple commands. They should never think of themselves as top dogs. Never be on furniture. Never pull at the leash. That's about it. Enjoy your wonderful pets, you lucky dog, you![/quote]
