yeah think of all the rewards, their cute little puppy dog eyes!!!! it will be worth all the effort to train them. I`m lucky in that my boyfriend`s parents have a dog...not me...so i get to do the cute, fun stuff like play, cuddle, take it for walks and they have to do the rest as its not my dog - all though when they go on holiday i end up looking after it and it misbehaves i.e: poops and wees everywhere just because i`m not his mummy...naughty, clever dog!!! Lets hope your dog gets trained better and has more respect for others (although you will be his mummy so you`ll be fine!) have fun! jo

Yes, puppies like to bite and nip when they are teething but its very important that you don't let them bite on you! I know it really doesn't hurt now but she will get bigger and it will hurt. Be sure the puppy has LOTS of chew toys and chew sticks, I give Harley bully sticks and curly tendons. If the puppy tries to bite on you, immediately give it a chew toy. If the puppy continues to bite on you, GROWL at it!! If you have ever seen momma puppies interact with the baby puppies, thats what the mom's do!! They taught us that in puppy class. Just like a child, you have to be consistent and establish good habits when they are young! You can also take a washcloth, get it wet and put it in the freezer. The cold will help ease some of the teething pain. Ice cubes are also good for that and they have fun playing with them!
