L is for Love Means No

Some new puppy owners feel bad about being firm with their little furballs. Just remember that saying no now means a well behaved dog later. What’s cute in a puppy is not so cute in a full grown dog! Being firm with your puppy is the best way to show that you love it. After all, you’re making sure that you will have a dog that is a joy to be around and has no bad behavior problems as an adult.
So, the next time your little rascal comes to the dinner table, stands up on its hind legs and looks at you with those big sad eyes, say “No” and make sure you mean it.
