But first let me tell you about something that doesn’t work.  Punishing your dog in a harsh way while training him. Punishment is not a training aid and is the least effective only serves to instill fear in the dog.  It does little to bring about a willingness to learn and achieve.When teaching your puppy – especially the free puppies to good home types – do not add more stress than they can bear.  Using a firm voice and a distinct ‘No’ is most always enough.  Anything more than that will be distracting to the puppy.

Dogs need to see a determination and consistency as they are being trained.
