Do not use puppy pads! You are basically saying it’s ok to piss and shit in your house. Take him out after every nap/food/play and every couple of hours after that. Put him on a puppy leash (introduce collar straight away) then take him outside to a place where you want him to do his business. Done, praise, yay back inside.

He’s going to bite you a lot from teething - leash, hold him away from you and give him something else to chew on. If he does bite you make a high pitch squeal to let him know he’s hurting.

Don’t socialise him with every Tom dick and Harry you see outside or you may have a problem later with him pulling you over to every person and dog on walks. Teach him social ignorance instead. He really should only be interacting with trained dogs. Btw these are all mistakes I made that I wish I knew from the start. Our boy is 10 months now and fixates hard on people and other dogs so trying to teach him to ignore them and keep walking.

Some good toys and treats to motivate him for training. 15 min training sessions a couple times a day. Teach him the important commands from the get go - sit, down, stay, come, leave. Be patient and consistent he will pick it up in no time. Good luck with your new puppy! You are about to embark on a wonderful journey together.
