Wheatens can be very wacky! They are often high-energy, dominant-aggressive puppies. Get him neutered A.S.A.P. and start training immediately, either on your own, at a class or with a trainer. The best (and cheapest) way is to take your own dog to training classes at your local AKC recognized obedience club. http://www.akc.org/clubs/search/index.cfm?action=obed&display=on
Read some great books on training. (Try not to pick books randomly - there are a lot of bad books out there also!) These are some of my favorites and you can get them on Amazon.com

Look online @ yahoo groups or M S N groups(not sure if yahoo has a problem with promoting another web service) and see if there are any wheaton groups they are great for giving advice for your specific breed I know on MSN I belong to A1 terriers and they are soo friendly and helpful. Otherwise have fun with the pup I love the terriers and think they are one smart breed.

Get him neutered as soon as you can. Be consistent. Take him to obedience classes. Have fun and play with him and take him for walks frequently.

Don't leave your really cute white shoes out in the open or they will be chewed up.
