For me, "NO" is a very important, strong word, and I try to avoid using it casually. I use it for behavioral and non-compliance issues. To my dog, it pretty much means that a correction is imminent. My dogs ears and tail drop when the "NO" comes out. Therefore, I use a different word as my negative marker in training and remind myself to not always utter "no" when I don't like something. It took some getting used to.
I also use commands such as "leave it" and "drop" to avoid correcting my dog for impulsive or curiosity-based actions. This helps us avoid situations where she could get in trouble, rather than always reacting to them post-haste.
You can start introducing the negative marker early on, as long as you are not harsh. It should only mean "try again" , or "do this instead of what you were doing".

By the way, Fabio, you might want to start new threads for your new topics after this one, with a name that refers to the topic ..... I have page 11 here on my screen, and a new viewer has no real idea where the current question falls.

Just wanted to chime in. This is an excellent post. As a low experienced owner I have made all the mistakes you have asked about because I had not found this bunch of helpful people.
Fabio, I am glad that you have done all your homework and want to raise a great dog. Because you already care so much I am sure you will do a great job.
