I had posted previously with some questions I had...thanks to everyone for helping! I love this site!! So informative!

Ok - my next questions:

1. When we are home, we have trained our little puppy to potty outside. He's doing very well...just a few minor accidents in the home. When we are gone, we put him in our small half bathroom and have been putting puppy pads in there as well. He has taken to them very well and is using them. Is this ok to do both? We want to make sure that he knows if he can, he needs to go outside.....suggestions?

2. Our little guy is really starting to bite! he is 9 weeks old now...is this too early for them to start teething? He is constantly wanting to naw on our fingers and anything he can find!! Anything I can do for him or any suggestions during this time?

3. His coat isn't quite as shiny as I thought it would be or as it was when we first brought him home. Any suggestions on how to make it shiny and healthy? I am currently feeding him Pedigree puppy care (what the breeder was feeding him)....is this a good food or should I switch to something else?
