Sky -----Sounds like you have things under control with your lil biter. I think some folks are just better at "training" that others. Am sure the tone of your voice when you say NO makes a big difference......

My oldest son taught Big Bear, the shepherd, that when you say ouch, he'd kiss you. Big Big when he played, would sometimes play too hard. It was soo cool to just say ouch and he'd give you a big kiss on the cheek and would then play gentler..

Rainbowzz ....Actually he is "teething" big time. I even put some ice cubes in a sock, "yes a clean sock, lol" and let him chew on the ice. He liked it. But it was short lived..

Curley.....I will check out Animal Planet. I think part of the problem is the puppy and part could be me. I don't think he is a "bad" dog. There is hope...

Well, I had to call the vet for help. It was just getting way out of hand. And my loving feelings towards this new addition to the family was slowly fading......

So the Behaviorist at the office called me. She suggested I keep his harness on at all times (for a week)... She also said it is NOT too cold to take the pup for l0/20 min walks. She said it is very important to exercise him and give him plenty of walks every day. She also said "time out" is good. That some times dogs, as "lil children do" get too excited and need a break to calm down. Reward him with treats for good behavior.

She said if he brings me a toy to play with him, don't play. Only play when I give him the toy. Has something to do with dominance. Also, if within a week, or a few days, things don't change, that she would like to see him and work with him..

SOOOOOO .,. the harness works great, so far... He doesn't bite at all when the harness is on. I don't know why, but it works.. An immediate change. Is like a new pup.. I also took him for like 4 walks last night .. catch up for all those missed walks . lol... He slept like a baby last night........

SO Far so good........ wipes brow

Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions.. Is a challenge big time, training a lil pup. The lil stinker wore me out. Think he wore himself out too, as he jumped back on the sofa and is zzzzing.. Gosh I hope he isn't sick. I gave him his heart worm pill last night. Vet said give it to him, so I did.. I worry too much, I think...

Thanks again... everyone..... huggggs

PS I am lil tired and won't be checking for grammar or spelling errors...

The atmosphere is much more relaxed this morning.....
