How dogs and men are the same
1. Both take up too much space on the bed.
2. Both have irrational fears about vacuum cleaning.
3. Both mark their territory.
4. Neither tells you what's bothering them.
5. The smaller ones tend to be more nervous.
6. Both have an inordinate fascination with women's crotches.
7. Neither does any dishes.
8. Both fart shamelessly.
9. Neither of them notice when you get your hair cut.
10. Both like dominance games.
11. Both are suspicious of the postman.
12. Neither understands what you see in cats.
The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.

Preventive training means you keep your dog from getting an opportunity to exhibit an unwanted behavior so that you do not have to modify his behavior or use negative training methods to correct it. This type of training requires more participation from you in the beginning, as you have to watch him very carefully. Your pup will need to be kept in a crate or a puppy/dog proofed area when you can't keep an eye on him. Try to anticipate his need for toys and distraction and reward good behavior with lavish praise.
