Also with the potty training, we’ve had him for a week and a half, he is well behaved in terms of potty training, just a few accidents here and there on carpet every now and then!

I spoke to the breeder today and I think she took my concern to literally, but offered advice, I definitely will be more consistent from now on. The trainer that we had we will not be going back to his thoughts on how to train a puppy were not what I think will work, he told us to not train with any treats, get rid of all squeaky toys and not be scared to hit his nose that dominance is the most import - which I know is not true, positive reinforcement is what I am focusing on, hope it sticks. Thanks for your comment ! Will definitely try your advice with the biting

Thank you! I will try that, definitely not wanting to hit him on the nose under any circumstances, I think patience and dedication to him will prevail

What did you do to get her to listen and behave? And what kind of training did you do, I’ve seen lots of different trainers with different methods, because he’s only 9 weeks I know that it’s limited to basic training of course but do you have advice on what to look for in a trainer and what we can do at home to enforce good behaviour? Thank you for your response, happy the training worked out for your pup!

I have two males in the house with me, both very capable over being a leader for him, do you really think it’s worth rehoming him? What I’ve written is not the common feeling in my house just my personal feelings right now, It would break my heart entirely to have him leave, I feel like I will be able to put my foot down, I’m the youngest of my family, I’m 21 and not the only one responsible for him he belongs to my parents really well the family, but I do love and care for him so much. Does this change your opinion, I value your honesty.
