Your dog is going to try you the first few times. This is okay, they just want to see what you will let them get away with, & and if you know what they have been taught.

Take your dog on outings to make them part of your pack!
Always be relaxed and take charge of your dog. Talk to him like you would talk to your kids if they do something they should not. Be sure to use a stern voice for the negative reinforcement, and use a happy cheerful voice during positive reinforcement.
