My puppy is 12 weeks old today and I have had her for a week and a half now. She is doing really well with her potty training, she uses her pee pad and goes outside. She is already learning sit, stay and come commands very well. I'm completely puzzled why she will not understand or listen to NO when I try to tell her. The most reoccuring issues are when I am trying to clean with a swiffer, or paper towels, she always tries to bite and attack them. When I try to have her up on the couch with my boyfriend and I she will bite the wires of our computers and try to lay on the computer keyboards. I also knit and she will attack the needles first and then the yarn.

I always start with just saying no in a stern voice, removing the problem item and replacing with a toy. When that doesn't work I cup her face in my hands and say no. And lastly I pick her up, give her a shake and say no. I have read a dog training book and those are the methods offered. Even after the most stern third time of telling her no she just goes back to repeating the problem. I then have to pick her up and take her off the couch or put her on the other side of the room for her to stop only because the problem is no longer accessible.

Any tips or better training methods would be greatly appreciated. I have been patient and consistent but this one command is just not working. I am open to all suggestions, thank you!
