David Letterdog's List of Things Dogs Cannot Do While Sitting
1. Jump up, lick, paw, bump, or goose family, friends, visitors, or strangers, especially including the young and the elderly.
2. Bolt out of the front door or car.
3. Run off in the park.
4. Chase cars, cats, chickens, children, bicyclists, skate-boarders, horses, and other dogs.
5. Bully, bother, pester, or disturb people or other dogs.
6. Get underfoot, stepped on, or tripped over.
7. Mount other dogs, or be mounted by other dogs.
8. Slap a child in the face, or clear a coffee table of wine glasses with a waggy tail.
9. Fence-fight or scrap through the garden fence.
10. Pace back and forth, chase its tail, or self-energize by running around like a whirling dervish from window to couch, from couch to carpet, and from carpet to window, etc., while working itself into a feverish frenzy.

Teaching your dog a simple Sit cue can go a long way to avoiding basic problems and so easy to do - whether for a pup or an older dog

Growling is a valuable and natural means of communication for any dog – something that dog owners should appreciate and respect rather than punish. It is quite obvious that none of us feel comfortable, safe or accepting of this behaviour.
