I have used the leash and harness on Pebbles and it really helped when she was a puppy. It even worked well for bath time too. She is very good with grooming but that has not always been the case for her. It took me working with her every day for a few minutes at a time to get her to accept to be bathed and groomed.
this puppy was taken from its mother way too soon and now has issues with biting which the OP tried to correct using the 'Alpha Roll'.
This has made the puppy worse.

There are a few other threads where people have Alpha Rolled puppies, and this puppy is reacting the same way. So it's a bit more involved now than just '8 week old puppy biting' syndrome.
