7. Encouraging Bad Behaviors
You may not think twice about it, but responding positively to bad behaviors from a puppy can lead to disaster as the dog gets older. Sure, puppies are adorable, and their chewing or biting may even be funny to you. However, encouraging this behavior -- instead of discouraging -- could lead to problems with a larger dog that bites and could potentially injure yourself or someone else.
8. Feeding Human Medication and Food
Feeding human medication and food to a dog can be life-threatening. Your dog-loving friend, the internet, or other resources may tell you it's safe, but you should never put your pet at risk. Even medications and foods that may seem safe can be fatal if given to a dog.
