Sounds like you've gotten a lot of good advice, especially the don't give in part. I know how tough it can be. Try not to get frustrated.

I'd check with your vet on whether your dog can go for outside walks. My understanding is that it's OK if you don't bring them around other dogs or let them get into dog poo. The fear is Parvo and distemper, and if you can keep them away from other dogs, it shouldn't be a problem. And exercise will go a long way to helping with the excess energy issues.

For biting, try to have a healthy chew that she likes always handy. If she gets nippy, give her something that's acceptable to chew on. A bully stick, nylabone or stuffed Kong.

Good luck. The puppy months can be overwhelming.
