Animal Planet's, It's Me or the Dog host, Victoria Stilwell gives Unleash 5 top dog training tips.
 
1. Use positive reinforcement. Instead of being a dominant owner, be a calm teacher who rewards and encourages good behavior.
 
2. Learn how to think dog. Understand the world from a dog's point of view.
 
3. Exercise. Physical exercise and mental stimulation is crucial throughout the day. The number 1 cause of behavior problems is lack of physical activity and mental stimulation.
 
4. Have fun with your dog! Pet ownership should be fun and not considered a chore.

5. Get help. Use the support system around you. Utilize resources like trainers and veterinarians.

First: I love you, Vicky.

Second: Number Two is the tricky one. I recommend the book "The other end of the leash" as a good starting point.
