What type of boundaries do you set? What’s appropriate? How do you set them.?
Hello my puppy lovers! Boundaries are important especially with a new pup, making sure you respect their boundaries and they respect yours. First rule, NEVER FEED TABLE SCRAPS WHILE EATING. Yes they are adorable.. but once you start its a horrible habit to kill. If you want to give them a treat feed them after dinner so they understand begging is not a good habit . Second rule, depends on how you are but if you don’t want them in your bed, start young! Same with your furniture, don’t allow it period. Get a spray bottle, most dogs do not enjoy getting splashed in the face , and it will kill the habit !
Boundaries don’t have to be hard to set, just stick to your rules and they will follow!
Stay cool,

Hi Meghan,
Thanks for explaining some of the things that can help with training a pup! I do not currently have a dog, but have always wanted to get one once I moved out on my own. I have always figured that feeding dogs table scraps was not a good idea, and have seen it result in some pretty terrible behaviors. I didn’t know that spray bottles work on dogs though; I use one on my cat but didn’t know it had the same effect. Thanks for sharing!
