Hi, I can feel your frustration. Along side all the great tips so far, I find the nyla bones are good for teething, and not sure if you can get them in the US they are called petstages various toys that can be frozen, if not a frozen clean sock works the same, it just doesn't look as pretty lol. As for toilet training I'm outside all the way, and have done so with all 4 of mine, I'm not a fan of puppy pads in my opinion that just teaches its ok to go indoors. We all go outside at key times after food, just woken up ect and several times in between, my youngest Mickey is nearly 4 month old and already he will run to the door scratch if no one comes her runs to you then back to the door again, I praise and treat like crazy, he's so sneaky tho as now when he comes back in the house he runs over to the where the treat dish is and looks up as if to say "come on I've been a good boy, where's my treat". We still have the odd accident but he's still really young.
