Teach your puppy what you want. So often, we try to teach our animals what we don't want. Don't jump on the sofa, don't jump up on people, don't surf the counter, don't bark. Don't, don't, don't … Don’t is not a word that translates into a picture. All your dog sees is dogs on sofas, dogs counter surfing, and dogs barking.  Instead, acknowledge the things your puppy does right and create a template of what you want.  Listen in! I share ways to set your pup, kitten, horse, or bird (and you) up for success! Show notes available here: https://www.mindful-connections.com/post/81-setting-puppy-up-for-success
