Positive reward is the best way to train them. Reward the good behavior and motivate him to act good.

Then, when he does get on the counters or trys to eat food, you can try to spray bottle technique, but never hit him.

This triggers the other puppies’ desire to tug on the strips. Thus, your not the bad guy and they are getting used to being controlled by a lead as well as having a collar on.
2Step TwoProper placement of the collar is key. When walking your puppy/dog at ANY time in their training, be sure that the collar is placed up under the chin and close to the undersides of the ears. You do not want it down around the mid or lower neck as you lose all leverage and control of your dog then. Very little coaxing is needed on your lead if the collar is placed properly.
3Step ThreeStart out with a long rope line and use treats to call your dog to you as you shorten the length of lead to keep in taunt while still avoiding resistance. Do not allow the puppy to have any lead back to go out away from you until they have come as called and gotten their reward.
4Step FourWhen walking around the house, have your puppies leash attached to your belt. This will help teach the puppy to pay attention to you as a handler and be expectant of your next move instead of your having to call the dog for it’s attention each time you want to go a new direction. A side benefit of this is that it makes housebreaking SO much easier as they aren’t out of your sight and you will know when they have to go before they do it. Be sure to reward them when they try to let you know.
5Step FiveAs the puppy gains confidence, begin walking in sporadic directions in order to teach the puppy to pay attention to you at all times when on lead.
6Step SixUse short, sharp tugs on the lead if the puppy is distracted or misbehaving while using an ‘uh-uh’ noise (they listen better to that than a simple no). You could also use a "cchhh!" sound.
Introduction
Training your dog to walk on leash can be frustrating for many dog owners. Pulling is one of the biggest problems, learn how to get your dog to walk on leash by watching this video and following the steps in this article.
Instructions
Difficulty: Moderate
Things You’ll Need
Leash
Treats
Steps
1Step OneStart with your dog sitting next to you on leash. make sure you have your dog under control before you attempt walking with your dog. Dogs pull because when they feel the pressure on the leash they will pull away from you. This is called opposition reflex.
2Step TwoAs you step off, give your dog the command "Let’s go" and start walking. Once your dog starts to pull, let out all the tension in the leash and go in the other direction.
3Step ThreeWhen your dog gets to the end of the leash you’ll be walking in the other direction. As your dog comes to your side quickly praise your dog and gather up the leash.
4Step FourIf your dog starts to pull, let out the leash again and go in the other direction.

Ah, puppies. Those tiny wagging tails and big, adoring eyes–and those unsightly yellow puddles and chewed up shoes. Puppy obedience training is a necessary part of pet ownership. It’s very difficult to co-exist with an animal that hasn’t been house-trained. For best results, you should obedience train your puppy as soon as you bring her home. Here are some tips.
Instructions
Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Steps
1Step OneTime your commands, rewards and negative responses carefully. Teach the "Come" command when your puppy is behaving rather than in the midst of mischief, and reward him promptly when he complies. Once he knows what "Come" means, you can use this command to tear him away from bad behavior.
2Step TwoRepeat the training exercises only until your puppy gets it right, and then take a break for a little while. So after a few attempts to teach her to "Sit" reward her once she complies and then let her rest or play with you. Remember that like small children, puppies have very small attention spans.
3Step ThreeDo short exercises in short intervals, rather than trying to teach a puppy an entire command like "Sit-Stay" in one lesson. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and trying to get a puppy to master both sitting and staying put in one lesson is asking too much of him–and of you. You will lose patience and he’ll disappoint. Instead, teach him "Sit" in one exercise and later on graduate to "Stay."
4Step FourKeep talking, the whole time. Your puppy enjoys your praise as well as your coaching and will stick with the exercises in part just for the attention. Make sure a lot of what you are saying is positive reinforcement for trying to learn.
5Step FiveKnow whether to touch your puppy or keep hands off her. Puppies younger than 12 weeks crave touching, so make sure your lessons involve lots of contact. Dogs older than this respond better when the lesson is pretty much contact-free–except at the very end of the exercise, when a pat is part of the treat reward.
Tips & Warnings
Let your puppy learn to think for himself. Don’t guide him too much during the puppy obedience training exercises. Allow him to get it right or fail on his own.
A puppy obedience training class might be worth looking into–or working with a certified dog trainer.
Never hit your dog. Physical discipline is not a good way to teach a puppy to behave and can have terrible consequences, including the pet becoming aggressive. Instead, say "No" when you need to respond to negative behavior. You can also block the puppy from persisting.

any more tips??
she is three years old btw guys!

We have had cats who did not like to be picked up and I’ve managed to change some of them – not all, but some.

I did so by picking them up and immediately putting them down, every time I saw them.

As the weeks went by, I would hold them a bit longer each time.

Some cats do not like to be picked up because they are afraid they are going to get hurt, that you might drop them, or that you are picking them up in a way that makes them feel unstable.

Make sure that anytime you pick up a cat, any cat, you do so correctly and in a way that the cat will feel stable and not feel like it can fall.

By the way, some people get scratched when they pick up a cat because the cat feels unstable and reaches out for something to hang onto and many times, if not most of the times, that something winds up being a human arm or body or face.

Just start picking her up and setting right back down. Continue doing this each time you see her and work up to holding her a bit longer each time. Increase the time by a second or two each week or so.

This may or may not work, it depends on the cat and how well you do it.

Good luck
