The first year is the most challenging.
Max liked to nip my toes in the morning when we would get out of bed. I put him back in his xpen to calm down and told him "no bite." He had to wait for me to brush my teeth and dress, then we would go downstairs for breakfast. He learned if he wanted his freedom in the morning, he had to stop nipping my toes.
Edit to add: don't use crate confinement for any kind of punishment. The crate should be "safe place."
