One of the most important (and hardest) things you will need to do with a new puppy is to be consistent. Don’t forbid your little guy to hop up on the furniture and then invite him to sit beside you the next day. Just say no and stick to it. In the long run, breaking your rules “just this once” will just frustrate him and you. Puppies aren’t mindreaders and they need to know that a rule is a rule.
