When ever I got a new puppy, I puppy proofed my home just as you would when a bay starts walking. What ever they can reach goes in their mouths. Puppies are the same way. I had the wildest female yorkies, not yappy or barkers, just wild child babies. When I was pad training I used one pad only in one area in one room. A pad in each room can confuse a dog, a pad in only one room the dog knows, that's the place to go. I would definitely get her DNA taken so know for sure just what bred she is or a mix. Getting a
trainer is ideal for wild child puppy, they will show you how to properly train her, like pad training the key word is constancy, you must be consistent, reward and happy praise like crazy when she uses the pad. You must be very patient and constant when pad training and obedience training, always verbally praise and reward with her most favorite treat.
At 70 we don't have the stamina we had at 40, puppies are a lot of work, keeps you going all day.
