1: DO establish your house rules, boundaries, and limitations between the human members of your pack before you bring a dog into your home. 在你将狗狗领回家以前,一定要建立狗狗和人成员之间的规则、界限和约束。
4: DO begin enforcing rules from your dog's first day at home-your dog doesn't understand the concept of "special day" or "holiday" from rules! 一定要从狗狗第一天进家门开始就强化你制定的这些规则。你的狗狗不会有“特例日”或者“休假日”的概念,规则是永远存在的。
7. DON'T enforce rules if you are frustrated, angry, emothional, or tired. Wait until you can respond unemotionally to your dog's behavior. 不要在你自己情绪沮丧、愤怒、激动或者疲惫的时候去强化和纠正狗狗的行为,要等到你的情绪稳定下来,能够淡定地应对狗狗的行为时再去纠正和强化。
12. DO reward your dog with treats or affection, but only when she's in a calm-submissive or active-submissive state. 一定要用零食或者爱抚来回馈你的狗狗,但是必须是在它处于一种淡定的服从状态或者活跃的服从状态才能施予。
