• Getting a new puppy in your home can sometimes be
  overwhelming. Puppies can be a problem, almost
  like having a new baby. You need to be prepared
  before you bring any dog into your home.
• Puppies are used to playing with their brothers
  and sisters. They spend their day running,
  jumping, chewing, biting, pulling ears and
  sleeping. When they get home with you, you
  become the new playmate. Which, is fine, but you
  both need to learn the new rules.

• If you do not establish the rules from the
  beginning you will have a hairy monster a few
  months down the road. The distinction between
  playing and playing too rough must be made clear.
  Puppies can learn, but it can take time... with
  some more than others.
• Lets start our new pup slowly and gently.
  Remember, he is still young and has a ton of
  stuff to learn about his or her world. So, be
  gentle and do not push him beyond what he can
  understand. At the same time it is ok to
  establish clear boundaries...this is what his
  mother and playmates do.

• If the pup bites too hard say ouch and stop the
  play. If you watch puppies when one of them gets
  too rough the other gives a whelp and leaves,
  which is the next step.
• When they continue to bite say ouch, put her
  down and leave. Dont come back for a few
  minutes as punishment. Be persistent, do this
  every time she gets out of line and she will soon
  get the idea. This is how they learn.
• When you call a pup have a chew toy in your hand.
  Stick the toy in their mouth to let them know
  what acceptable play is.
• If they drop the toy and go for body parts go
  through the same routine. Say ouch, stop the
  play and leave.
• You must be very patient. Remember their young
  brain is still taking in all that information.
  Above all do not yell or swat them. That will
  only confuse the dog and make matters more
  difficult.
• If the pup is between 6 to 8 months old and is
  still sinking those needle teeth in your flesh
  and clothes it is time to go for the heavy
  artillery. Get some Bitter Apple spray and spray
  him in the mouth when he is biting or hanging on
  to your pant leg. Many people have reported
  great success with this. Just do not be lazy and
  start the spray before trying the other steps.
  This is considered one of the last steps before
  going for professional help.

• Another thing...it may be best to stay away from
  those training classes in the big box stores.
  There is, usually, so much going on there it is
  hard for you and your dog to concentrate.
• Pups usually learn quickly if given the chance.
  The main thing is to be patient and persistent.
  Plus, always be consistent in your training. Do
  the same thing every time for whatever you are
  training them for, otherwise they will be
  frustrated and not get it, or quit.
• If you follow the above steps you will have a
  happy playmate and a pup you can be proud
  of...even when the mother-in-law comes over.
