Sounds like the experience with you and your puppy will be a great one.
Love and patience, and you will have a best friend forever, right?

Hi , Thought I'd ad my Newbie experience , Teach you puppy
well ,, & teach you children to teach & treat your puppy right . Puppies
mouths are tasting new stuff & gentle mouthing is considered exploring
here .... Nippipng / Biting is an agressive trait ... ...when my pups
start to get aggressive I pick them up and hold them ... say no bite
& be nice .... if I must I'll hold their mouths shut while re-
peating this in a normal , but firm tone . Puppies learn fear quickly
& it can be a real STOPPER in training . your Puppy wants to please you ,
but have fun too . If it fears you or shows aggression out of fear
..you'll get no where in any training . Don't try to prove your
Dominance ... Give them Love & guidance ... response will be submission
if properly done . I tell my kids ... be easy with the pups & they
just want to taste you ...they don't really bite they mouth
lightly & taste ....I let all my dogs freely taste ...it's a bonding
thing ... they usually respond by rolling on their backs ..ready for
tummy rubs .
Of course there are really disturbed animals that are just
bad.. I wouldn't recommend keeping one around children ... though with
effort they may be turned into a nicer dog .
Had a Major break today Clara decided she would stop
her non stop barking - she had a big change yesterday & was vocal about it
...I seperated her & Motley .... new Crates & devided the puppie pen
... He seemed grateful for the move .
