As for cuddling... He naps with me on the couch sometimes and I sort of gently force him to lay down next to me. He stays still and falls sleep. And than if he gets too hot or feels uncomfortable, he'll get up and move down to the end of the couch.

Your puppy is awfully young so I think it's just a matter of time. Just be patient and try not to get so frustrated. She'll probably pick up on your feelings. (Mine definitely does..)

When she mouths you, quickly hold her muzzle and slap the top of that hand. Than let go and hold it up on front of her mouth. If she tries to bite/mouth you again, repeat. You have to be CONSISTENT. I've been using that method for the past 1-2 weeks and I feel it's given me the most result.

Good LUCK!

FOUR WEEKS? OMG! What happened to the mommy?
