Men's 'best friend'..

Dogs, like people respond better to praise than anger. If you spend all afternoon struggling with a naughty dog, you should make sure to let him know how good he is when he finally "gets it". Make sure you use a "happy" tone. Dogs can tell an angry tone form a pleased one and saying "Good boy" in a tone that implies you want to attack him with a hatchet isn't going to work. Ultimately, he did what you wanted so let him know you're happy with him. Without that reinforcement he won't understand or remember to do it again. Give your dog affection and praise when he's sitting at your feet watching TV. I know it's easy to forget they're there sometimes, but chances are you're the dogs primary source of entertainment and affection. Let him know he's loved and that sitting quietly while you're focusing on something else can earn him rewards just as much as obedience or performing a trick.
