HOUSEBREAKING:
This is what I did with Julie and it was a matter of time before she was housebroken. If she had an accident, the majority of the time it was due to lack of attention. Seldom it was due to her fault.
When I initially brought her home, I took her out to “get busy” at the “potty spot” outside every hour on the hour saying “time to get busy”. The treats went as follows:

#1) Exact location: Three liver treats
#2) Close to the location: Two liver treats
#3) On the grass: one liver treat
#4) Now, mostly praise and random treats

NOTE: #1 - #3 Lots of praise mixed in.

As the others have stated, if she had an accident and I did not catch it, I would just go clean the mess without saying a word. If I did catch her in the act, I would quickly pick her up and say the word "outside". When we got outside, I would say, "let's get busy".

If I got confused on the time, I would then set the alarm on my iPhone to go off every hour on the hour, so I would remember to take her out, then change the span of time on the alarm as time went on. At the beginning of her housebreaking training, this is how I started:
45 minutes
1 hour
1.5 hours
2 hours
2.5 hours
3 hours
3.5 hours

I would also take her outside to get busy under these conditions:
Waking up
After eating
After napping
After playing
If she was crated for any length of time
Driving: Before and after we reached our destination
Before going to bed

Keep in mind that this is the first time in my life I've had a dog as early as eight weeks. I have read a lot of material in reference to housebreaking. What I've read, I’ve mostly used as a guideline to train Julie.
There will be times when both you and your baby have “accidents in training.” Keep in mind that there is a learning curve for both of you so give yourselves some space and grace. I think if there was one word that I would use towards housebreaking (as others have said) it would be the word "consistency".

I will also add that when I go to my parents’ house and we leave the house, I put Julie in the bathroom with a bowl of water and a potty pad.

As for the house boundaries, I keep her on the same level where I am located. She's a wee little gal and I don't feel comfortable leaving her alone.

BITING:
I'm still working with Julie with no bite.

What I have heard to decrease biting is after their first shot. You can take them to places like Petco for puppy playtime. They will learn more about biting with their peers in one day than they will with their owner in a week.

NIGHT POTTY TRAINING:
My mother-in-law and I are learning about puppies pretty much at the same time. Julie is four months older than her first puppy, Frosty (male). I don't know where she learned this from, but she offered me a suggestion on how to train Julie at bedtime. And this is how it went for me to wake Julie up to get busy the first couple of nights:
1st night: Every two hours
2nd night: Every three hours
3rd night: Every four hours

After the fourth night, we both were doing pretty good. Then several nights later, she was able to sleep the whole night with random wake-ups. Needless to say, I was very tired that first week.

WATER BOWL:
I was trained to do this with Sabu when I initially adopted him, and I have proceeded to do the same with Julie. Put up the water bowl in the evening at 8 PM.

CUES:
Julie has also showed us by her cues when she is ready to go outside to get busy. When she sits there and looks at us and gives us a few quick barks, it is her way of saying "I need to go outside to go potty”.

BELL RINGING:
My mother-in-law has been training Frosty to ring the bells on the doorknob when he is ready to get busy. I must add, she is having some success in her training. I was told about this when we initially adopted Sabu. I tried with Sabu, but it just did not seem to work out for the both of us. Once again, I am attempting to train Julie with the bells. We are at the beginning stages of this training.

LAST NOTE: I wish training a husband was this easy! I know…another thread.

HOUSEBREAKING: @Verbena - thank you for posting that PDF. Great information!
BITING: @MomtoJasper - Julie loves her bully stick. Their awesome!!! I also highly recommend those twirly beef tendons, especially for the smaller dogs.
