Naughty puppy

Whenever the puppy does something good or right, GIVE THEM A LOT OF PRAISE. Puppies need to know when they do something right and telling them "good boy" or giving them a lot of love lets them know that the activity they have just done is good and will positively reinforce the behavior. Likewise, when they do something wrong, like going to the bathroom in the house, they need to be scolded. I've found that the best method is using a piece of rolled up newspaper to smack the puppy's behind. The purpose of this is varied. First of all, you should never hit a dog in the face because it can cause a lot of physical damage as well as emotional damage. Second, if you hit the dog with a newspaper, it's not really physically hurting him, but the loud smack of the paper scares him or her and they will learn to fear that noise, not the pain. Lastly, using newspaper will teach the dog to fear the newspaper and not you. If the dog fears you, he or she will never be able to learn anything from you.
