I want to extend a warm welcome to Stef, and want to let her know that we much appreciate your support of our forum. We hope you return soon. Although questions about pets are a little out of my league, I'll take a stab at this one. My experience is that dogs are fairly intelligent, and would recommend similar interventions that you would use for a toddler. Simple clear commands, reinforcing positive behaviors (i.e. praise, treats), and giving consequences for negative behaviors (i.e. withholding treats, giving short time outs). Whatever you choose to do, just be consistent!
