Ok so since he is a service dog there are a few limits he has that other dogs wouldn't.
Wait to pet him until he sits in front of you.
If he jumps or licks you ignore him and move away.
If he nibbles (he is still a puppy) give him a toy.
Trade his toys for the kids toys if he gets them.
No People food
No rough housing. Long slow gentle strokes only.
Playing fetch is fine. Playing keep away or tug of war is not.
No chasing or being chased by him.
Redirect rather than say "no" (strikingly similar to parenting).
Don't use his working commands unless he is working. These words are: come, sit, down, say, heel, bed
Can use: leave it, drop it, off, let's go, Merlin and kisses sound ( instead of come)
Of course no hitting, kicking, yelling etc.
Work with him all day every day. Keep him hooked to you via a 15 foot rope at all times!
I think that's it. ;)
