CHEWING: when puppies jump and bite their mother she put them on their back, bites their stomach and growls. When your dog is biting you them flip her over on his/her back (GENTLY), place your hand on her stomach and squeeze just a little, followed by saying "NO." The no replaces the mother growl. At first your dog will whine and squirm but after a couple of times doing this you’ll see her back legs getting closer to the ground and her relaxing.
(I was at Petland today and the owner showed me this trick when I was having issues with their Puggle- Hope it helps!)

For the chewing, give her something she’s allowed to chew on. Remember, she’s a puppy, she needs to chew.

You’re doing a GREAT job so far, crate training and positive reinforcment. I guess all I can say is no piddle pads (those give your pup a place TO pee, and they remember that for sure!!)

With the chewing just keep getting her stuff to chew on until she learns it’s a no-no, since she is going through her puppy times especially with her teeth, just be patient!

Also, with urinating in the house try blocking off her favorite place to pee and limiting her to a certain part of the house where she is visible at all times, unless you are out and she is in her crate.
And also, you might want to take her to the vet to check for UTIs and infections in her kidneys. Good luck!!

I might take her to the vet to see if she has a UTI or something if she pees that much. What might work is take her outside when she is not peeing and rewarding her when she does outside, while continuing to scold her if she pees inside. She’ll make the connection (hope,hope)

My pups were never allowed to nibble on us. We do not strike our dogs but when they nipped us, they got a light thump on the nose. Nothing hard, just enough to be unpleasant, with a simultaneous scold.

there are things called puppy pads that will attract the puppy and cuase them to go to the bathroom just by the smell of the pad and you can put this by the door or outside so that she will want to go outside, or if she doesn’t go outside she will go on the pad if she goes every 10 minutes. but, only give her a treat if she goes potty outside. do not give her a treat when she goes on the pad, if you do this, she will think that is very acceptable and will go ther all of the time to avoid going
outside and wasting her energy running around looking for a place to go. puppy pads can be found most likely at your local pet store but if you can’t find them you can order them online at a place like petsmart.com or something like that or petco.

For Chewing) First try to find a chew toy that he likes a lot. Maybe something of yours even. Now if he continues to bite you, whine as though you are a dog yourself. Either he will realize it hurts or he will continue thinking your playing. If he continues then use your thumb and press down on the back of his tounge, it will cause a gag reflex which he WONT like at all. Continue to do this each time he bites and say "No Biting" sternly, maybe tell him something I say to my dog "love licks only". If none of this works try putting something on your hands that tasts bitter, like lemon or onion, ect. he wont like the taste, and wont like to continue. Best of luck to ya!
