You are right! Especially with puppies seem like everything is a distraction for them

I use a spare room in the house where I clean it up as much as I can and let him explore it to his heart content the first few days to minimize distractions. No toys allowed and the house has to be quiet during training sessions. I also reinforce what he learned during daily situations and so far he's doing well. He understands come, sit, stay/wait, no, down, etc, which of course don't yet work while he's meeting new friends.
XFoxy: I used to put a towel around the edges of my leather sofa. Its ugly but better than gave them ruined. Be consistent and patient with your baby, she will get it eventually. Mine did. Tell her NO firmly and as soon as she stops give her treats, and give her things that are appropriate for her to chew or scratch. Don't give in to her demands because she'll think if she keeps doing it, she'll get whatever she wants.
