26. Small dogs or puppies who demand to be picked up or put down should NOT get what they want until they sit or do another acceptable quiet behavior. They should not be put down unless they are settled quietly in your arms.

27. Puppies should never be allowed to nip or chew uncontrollably, or destroy property.

28. Dogs should NEVER be left unsupervised with children or anyone who cannot maintain leadership and control over the dog. And especially not with someone scared of dogs.

29. To reinforce your position even more, you can make your dog lay down and stay there for 20 to 30 minutes a day. Tell him to lay down, then tell him to stay. If he tries to get up, correct him.
