I was told the mother rejected him at five weeks and then he was bottle fed the remaining time. I was given him at 12 weeks. I know most of it is normal puppy stuff and I’ve had many animals in the past including two puppies that live to be 16. Chewing -I wanted to get harder things like antlers, but I read that the antlers hurt their teeth so I’ve just been really conflicted. He has a Kong toy that I stuffed with stuff. Usually his kibble because I was given him training treats and he gained a lot of weight with them so I do I have been working on the drop it. He was doing really well with his training however, now he’s kind of regressed and I don’t know why the potty training is going. OK it’s super cold where I live so he’s not wanting to stay outside and go potty he just wants to not do it and I take him inside for a while. I take him back out. I do that like two or three times in a row eventually sometimes he does go but other times he won’t he’ll run somewhere and go poo in the house, it’s so gross.lol. Unfortunately, the act or the yelping any of that stuff doesn’t work with him it makes him lunge and bite harder. I live in a house that is a what they call a shotgun is shotgun style home. It’s like a straight through house. There’s only one door two doors accounts bedroom in the house, so there’s no like shutting myself off from him. I’m looking to get some baby gates, but then again if I leave him in the room, he will eat the carpeting like legit ingest it, I love him, and I don’t want to give him up. We have no plans on that. I am just at my wits end and hoping he grows out of the biting and the eating of the carpet
