I can't help you on all these problems, but get her some puppy treats, and get a chew toy that hides the treats inside, so she has to work to get them out. She will love those i bet! (also ones that make noise work to)

I trained my friends dog to stay (he already knew sit) I had him on his leash, tied to the door (not like where he couldn't breathe) then just told him to stay as i backed away. and when he "stayed" he got a treat, then i went a little slacker on the leash... finally where he didn't need any at all.

If she cries at night and you rescue her every night, she is going to learn crying= attention. Sometimes you just have to let them whine (as long as she isn't hurt) and they will get better. ALso try getting her a hot water bottle or heating pad, she is probably lonely for her mom and bros/sis. Try getting a clock that ticks, and put it under a blanket. It replicates the beating of her moms heart, and will help get not to be lonely. Hope it helps!

Good luck with her!

You need to assert yourself as a leader. Your puppy is young and needs to be trained not to bite. It will take some time, as she is just a pup. However, your puppy doesn't know what no means! So use a different word, "no" tends to blend into the background. To get my dog to stop doing something, I usually say "ah ah!" quickly and correct her.

For biting, I did a variety of things. Try them out with your pup. When she is playing and starts nipping, yelp really loudly, just like a puppy would do if it were hurt. That usually gets their attention, and they stop. Then praise and continue. When puppies play, they roughhouse all over but when one puppy gets hurt, it yelps to let the others know they are too rough, and the puppies back off.

Another technique. Whenever your puppy gets too rough and bitey, stop play immediately. Tell her "No bite" firmly, get up, and walk away. Ignore her for a few minutes. She will quickly learn that biting only gets her a time out and stops playtime.

A couple more - When she does bite, stick your finger in her mouth and grab her bottom jaw with your thumb and forefinger, and tell her "No bite!" You might get her tongue in there, she might cry a little, but hold her there for a second. She's not going to like how it feels and will learn that you won't tolerate biting. You can also grab her muzzle and hold it shut for a moment, same idea. It's not mean, or cruel, and you're not hurting her - just showing her biting isn't okay.

Lastly, if she's biting really badly, or hard, and she needs a firm reminder, I do this with my dog. I grab her by her scruff (doesn't hurt them) or collar on either side of her neck, facing her, pull her up on her hind legs (they are less stable this way and more off balance), get right in her face and using a firm, I-mean-business tone, I say "No bite! That is not okay!" Then I stop playing with her and ignore her. It sounds mean, but it's really not, and trust me, it works. They don't like to be scolded and they figure out quickly what you want. Now, if my girl gets too mouthy, all she needs is a "No bite" and she stops immediately.

She is absolutely not too young for training and treats! Use small, tasty treats for training, and something soft and not too crunchy is best. Train a few times a day, and keep sessions 5-10 minutes long. Puppies have short attention spans. Keep training really fun for the both of you, by not getting frustrated, and always rewarding good behavior. Use treats, praise, play, and toys to reward. End the session on a good note. When you give a command, say it only ONCE. I guarantee she'll hear you. If she doesn't comply, show her what you want and make her do it. Then praise.

To teach these comands:

Sit: Take a treat in your hand, facing your puppy. Hold it in front of her nose and slowly lift it straight back over her head, so she has to sit to keep watching it. Don't hold it so high that she jumps up to get it. Tell her "Sit!" as you do this. If she needs help, gently push her rump down on the ground. When she sits, say "Good sit!" and reward her with the treat. Continue until she does it without the treat lure, with just the hand signal and the verbal cue. Always reward when she responds.

Stay: This takes a while. You have to build up the time you are away from your dog. Start with her sitting or laying on your left, on leash, and say "Stay." Make a stop sign with your hand in front of her nose as a hand signal as you say this. Take one step away from her, stay there for one second, and return. Release her with a word like "Break, okay, or Release". Gradually extend the time you are away, always reward, and keep the times just short enough for her to be successful.

Come: This is the perfect age to teach her come. While you are playing, have some treats handy. Run backwards away from her, encouraging her to run after you by clapping your hands and saying her name. As she is running towards you, tell her "Puppy name, Come!" in a cheerful tone. When she gets to you, grab her collar and reward with lots of praise, play and treats. Do this all the time when you play. Gradually progress to calling her when she's looking at you, but not moving towards you, then when she's looking away, etc. Keep her on leash at this point so if she doesn't respond, you can reel her in to you and show her what you want. While you're training, always have treats to reward her/get her attention and/or a leash on to reinforce. Never call her unless you're at LEAST 90% sure she will come. Also, never use the word COME if you're doing something she considers unpleasant - kenneling, bathing, etc. This is the most important command your dog will learn and she needs to want to come every time, and learn that you mean it when you say it!

Lay Down: Take a treat in your hand, and with your puppy sitting, move the treat down from her nose, down her chest, to the floor, luring her into a down position. While you do this, say "Puppy na

it is highly posible that the dog go's after your hand because it likes you and wants to show its afection to you! sorry for my bad spelling. and to train it you just train it like any other dog would be trained! its just going to take longer because of its youngness!
