NILIF is for adult dogs with established true behavior problems. It is not a training philosophy to raise a puppy. At what age did you bring Banjo home as "charming and headstrong" sound pretty normal for a 14 week old puppy. I would enroll him in puppy kindergarten followed by a basic obedience class. Stay a strong leader and don't let things get out of hand, watch for warning signs and nip them in the bud. Now what you could do with NILIF is use it for pointers on leadership and modify it to meet needs as unwanted behaviors might come up.
