Quotes from Sarah Hodgson

To a puppy, any attention is good attention. If you focus on your puppy when they're mouthing, running away from you, or eating an unacceptable item, your body language and actions are saying "prize envy!" Your puppy will likely grab more things or, worse, grab the forbidden items only when you're not looking.

If you have treats or a treat cup, make a big fuss about eating the treats yourself.

After you bring your pup to the area, ignore them until they eliminate.

Reminders are often all they need.

You should use your puppy's name only when you're happy, not angry.

Decide early on what your puppy needs in order to feel included and satisfied in each situation (a bone, a mat, a 15-minute game of Toss after a nap), and insist on only the behavior you've outlined.

By this stage, your puppy has bladder control. Urge them to stay in their crate 15 to 30 minutes longer each morning by waking them up with a bone or food-stuffed hollow toy, until they're content sleeping in until your ideal target time.
