NO is the most over used words in the English language
Is it any wonder that our Toddlers and Puppies soon become immune it's effects?
Choose your commands carefully, If you want to use NO then use it for certain things but not everything as this will just confuse your puppy. NO Bite if they get nippy. Not No this and NO that.
Common commands that will mean more is Leave It this is used when you want your puppy to move away from something it is done. To Stop chewing on something, stop pestering another dog.
Stop this can be used for biting or jumping up. If jumping up you also need to teach the puppy they only get attention when all 4 feet are on the floor.
Get Off I use this for furniture, and jumping up at cupboards.
Each command has a specific reason and pups will learn quickly if you not changing the rule and causing confusion in training.
Do not use more then one command for a behavior, No, and Don't should not be used for biting for example.
Dogs here no hundreds of time just like kids and they will soon learn to tune it out.
