Don't humanize your dog! Dogs are dogs! They are companions, yes, but humans, no! If you humanize your dog it expects you to treat it like a human. This will cause your dog to try to get your food and try to be the leader. He will get away with everything and it will see you as a weaker member of the pac.

Biting! It hurts. When your dog bites you need to make it known that that his unacceptable! When your puppy bites cross your arms and say no then don't make any eye contact with him. As soon as his tail stops wagging you can try it again.

Training your dog can be easy! Just use DRSAR. D stands for do. When training your dog to sit for example push his rear down and give him a treat. The R stands for reward. Reward him when he does what you want (only when you want though). S stands for speak. Speak the command when he does what you want and reward him. A means associate. This is something you can't control. Eventually your dog will associate that word with him sitting and he will sit when you say. Finally R means repeat. Practice makes perfect so practice practice practice!

Always make sure that you are the dominant dog! Your dog will respect you if you show your athority. You eat first. You make the rules. You are in charge of the house. when your dog realizes that then you will be able to train it easily. My dog is 4 months old and can already sit, lie down, roll over, shake, and stay. he also can use his leash. another way you should show your dominance is by NOT letting your dog pull the leash. he is not taking YOU for the walk you are taking THEM for the walk.
