You need to sign up for a training class TODAY. It will help both with socialization because you got him so young and it will address ALL of these issues. These are normal puppy issues, you just need to learn how to deal with them.
Giving him a toy when he bites is good, but no need to grab the scruff of his neck. When he IS chewing on a toy, be sure to praise him and/or give a treat. Reward good behavior, ignore bad behavior. If he bites, yelp or say "OUCH" in a high pitched voice and turn your back and look away. If it persists give him a 5 min time out in his crate. Saying "NO" firmly but not yelling when he pees on the carpet is fine. Moving him to the pad/outside is great. He has no idea why you are cleaning it up so just do it and move on. Have you considered crate training? It leaves less opportunity for accidents. There is a TON of info on crate training on this board.
Please find a positive trainer ASAP and get signed up. It's more than worth the cost. Good luck! |
