Great advice, especially consistentcy with your behaviour!

Great advise! Both points equally!

A loving home & understanding that not all dog-dog interactions are good. Ensure they have a way out if they’re not happy with any other dog.

Yep, good advice, give a treat for any need to crate or shut away as they won’t understand what you’re doing.

Definitely look up hand signals over voice signals! They’ll never understand what you say!

What are you training it to do?

‘Good’ behaviour? Or some tricks/performances?

There’s similarities, but differences also.

Generally; remember that the dog will never understand what you say, but will have an idea as to your intonation/how you feel when you speak to it. It may even pick up if you’re feeling stressed by something unrelated to it.

Treat it as a family member, that’s how it sees you. Be careful with play, some biting is natural when young as they have no hands so can laern to use their mouth similarly as you do your hands, so if young, let them try things, but teach them to stop if it gets too frequent.

Don’t shout, it’s like barking to them & they may interpret as support for their behaviour. Whispering close to them can be surprisingly calming!

Your examples are good…but you should reward the 4th whilst training. but also it’s better to not conisider any behaviour to be ‘bad’ as the dog has no such concept and does not understand anything you say or think. They should therefore never be ‘punished’.

Also how is the 1st working? You reward it for trying and giving up? It runs the risk of rewarding trying anyway. Reward after responding to an instruction like ‘stop’ or ‘down’ is better.

This is very good! Train yourself, not the dog! Combine with the below.

A dog is not a toy, machine or servant. It is a living animal and has wants and feelings just like you.

Respect it.

Give it attention, a family, care. Ignore stereotypes. It is your child.

It never behaves badly as it has no concept of such a thing and remember that it does not understand English (or whatever language you speak).
