Dogs should get to know limits like what is their food and what is ours, that some hard-to-clean areas might be off-limits like the couch or the bed and most important of all, their business has to be done outside (the latter requires a lot of time and patience and needs to be trained from the very beginning to avoid raising a problem dog.
