DO NOT Mistreat your puppy by shouting, hitting, or jerking on your puppy’s leash. Call your puppy to you to reprimand it. Allow your puppy to chase objects like cars, bikes, or skateboards. Allow your puppy to chase other dogs, cats, or other animals. Confine your puppy for long periods of time during the day. Allow your puppy to chew, nibble, or bite on people. Allow your puppy to play with or chew on toys that aren’t on the approved toy list. Leave your puppy unsupervised outside. Let your puppy play off leash in an unenclosed area. Allow your puppy to bark, whine, or vocalize while crated, on tie-down, or in public. Leave your puppy unsupervised on a tie-down. Give your puppy any medications, treats, or food not approved by your advisor or area coordinator. Teach your puppy “tricks” outside of their obedience. Teach your puppy to play retrieve or chase games.

You should not ignore bad behaviour, instead, establish a consistent routine and rules and reward good behaviour and ignore bad behaviour.
Removing anything poisonous or that you don't want them chewing is necessary before bringing your puppy home.
You shouldn't leave them alone for long periods, instead, begin to leave them alone for short periods to prevent separation-related behaviour.
Don't change their food, feed them the same puppy food as they had before and keep the same routine with small, regular meals.
Don't overwork them, let them rest regularly, growing and learning is tiring, so let them rest regularly and keep training sessions short and fun.
