Setting unrealistic goals for your new puppy is a huge mistake.  This is just as bad as trying to “fix” all of your puppies unwanted behaviors. As discussed in the last episode, we always want to focus on what we want the puppy to do, not what we want them not to do. 

Be patient, take it slow, don’t force the puppy to try and learn too fast. Remember, they do not live with the same technology as humans in the digital world. Their life is analog, and they learn at their own pace.
