We have had my puppy for about a week. and some days she get's it and some she doesnt. Plus we just bought this house and are having friends over. Any advice on how to keep the house from smelling like dog pee and poop?

The amount of time for house breaking depends on the dog and method. i recommend using a portable crate (the kind they use for airplanes). It should be just big enough for the pup to stand up, turn around, and lay down. The pup wont want to soil its bedding so it wont go potty in it (unless left to long). Take the pup outside before play time in the house, and 15-20 min after meal times and being given water. Feed in the morning or early afternoon (will help with overnight accidents) It will teach the pup that it has to wait for you to let it out, and that it is to potty before playing in the house.

Well, for the puppy house training, purchase a package of Wee Wee pads and follow the simple directions. It takes a week or two.
Keep the pup in the kitchen. Use baby gates for the openings and safety latches on the cabinets. It is the easiest room in the house to clean.
For the smell, have the carpets professionally cleaned. If you do it yourself, it will smell like you did it yourself.
Take the pup to the groomer, and have the pup cleaned as well. You want your friends to be impressed. A clean dog is impressive!
A can of Oust! works great as an air freshener, because it does not add any smells...it just removes the odor in the air.
Febreeze is good for the furniture. I have used it for years so do not believe the rumors you will hear.
Feed a name brand dog food. Purina Puppy Chow is fine if you are on a budget. You don't need to spend a lot of money, just avoid the plain wrap cheap food.

He's nonetheless a dog and it's going to take a whilst except he learns what you assume of him. The digging, jumping and biting are all dog things that you simply have to coach him not to do. Generally immoderate barking is because of boredom which might very well be if he's left on my own for eight hours a day. Coaching him for 20 minutes a day is not fairly productive. Puppies attention spans are about 5 minutes to 10 minutes max. Some thing after that is a waste of time and he isn't finding out something. Try shorter training sessions and more of them. The digging is a trait of labs, and perhaps you should make an area up to your yard the place he can dig. Get like a small sandbox, fill it with sand and let him dig there to his heart content material. When he digs somewhere else, say no, and put him in his box the place he is allowed to dig. This may help with that. The jumping and biting is solely unhealthy behavior that wants to be dealt with with coaching. If you're unsure of find out how to instruct your pup, discover a nearby trainer to help offer you some tips on training.

It takes time to train a dog. Depending on how fast they learn the time is different. I would say at least a month would be enough time. Even then a puppy will have accidents until it is about a year old.
As far as the smell try a deodorizer you can pick up at any pet store.

Well, when we got our puppy a couple of years ago, also a lab, we put newspapers in front of the doors and told him "good boy" if he went on the newspapers, if he went on the floor, we made him look at what he did and told him "bad" and "no" and he was potty trained in a week, we also showed him how to scratch on the door. But it may take longer for your puppy, and make sure you be consistent.

Natures miracle is great for "accidents".
As for the housebreaking, it depends on how consistant & vigulent YOU are. With a touch of how much she learn before you got her. I wouldn't exect a pup to be prefect at less than 4-5 months but pretty good could come soon if you work on it.
