For example, if I say "No" and she backs off whatever she is doing; should I say "Good girl"?

Perhaps I should actually be using "Leave it" and redirecting her to something acceptable instead of "No"? Would be a pity as she understands "No". However she does not always listen the first time or I need to increase the volume and intonation.

Thanks (10 weeks old btw)
