My puppy is about 10–11 weeks old. We adopted him when he was around 6 weeks. I haven’t had a puppy in years (my previous dog recently passed away), so I feel really out of practice.
He pees everywhere, sometimes even while walking, and he drinks a lot of water. He also bites everything. I’ve tried correcting him and acting like a “mother dog,” but he just thinks it’s a game and bites more. I’ve also tried redirecting him with toys, but I’m not sure if that’s rewarding bad behavior.
He has a lot of fur, so I need to brush him daily, especially since he plays in the mud outside. The problem is he won’t stay still—he bites the brush and me, thinking it’s all a game.
His bites aren’t aggressive, but it’s constant (he’ll even bite my feet or clothes while I’m standing or cooking).
I know he’s just a puppy, but I feel overwhelmed and don’t know how to properly train him. Any advice would really help.
