what have you been doing prior to the puppy classes 3 or 4 weeks ago for housebreaking? have you tried crate training? are you indoor training? outdoor training? do you keep her in a confined, puppy proof area when you're gone? do you give her lots of treats and praises when she goes in the right spots? do you take her frequently to the proper area to potty?
i think it's unrealistic for a dog of any age to be housebroken within 3-4 weeks. it takes lots of time, effort and patience and even then it can take months of consistent diligence. so long as you keep up with the program she'll get it eventually.
as for biting and chewing... i hate to say this, but even after the baby teeth are gone, their gums can still be sore from the adult teeth growing in. and from what i understand, the chewing phase can last clear until 2 years old. so while she's in this phase of her life, give her a big NO when you catch her chewing on things she's not suppose to. if you're not around, leave her either in her crate, or confined to a puppy proof room or a xpen with tile flooring with potty pads.
good luck! |
