Similar to the common household game of hot and cold, “YES!” and “NO!” as well as “OK”, will become the foundational words you use to guide your canine companion down the path of better animal ownership.
In keeping it simple, and to help you get started, remember the following about these words:
1. “YES!” is your verbal communication when your puppy does something right and a reward is coming.
2. “OK” said optimistically is your verbal release to your puppy that he has successfully finished the behavior.
3. “NO” or “NOPE” is your verbal communication when your puppy does something wrong – try again.
