I recently got an 8 week old Lab-Sheppard mix. She is very good natured and generally calm, and like all puppies completely adorable. The problem I have is I have never had a puppy before, and am somewhat at a loss for how to get her to behave.
She generally whines if she needs to go out but this is only half the time, the other half ends up on the carpet for me to clean. She needs to stop peeing inside altogether.She also chews or bites everything! I know that is fairly normal, but with out being cruel how can I get her to stop? She nips at me even when I try to pet her, and those puppy teeth are sharp! The last thing is that she whines when I put her in the bathroom which is where i must keep her until she's house broken.
Now I realize she is still quite young and she's doing fairly well for her age; and I can't expect too much too soon, but if there are ways the speed up the training process I'd love to know them. Any advice in these areas would be greatly appreciated.
