Hi Eders

There are various threads on this board which were aimed at new owners including Biting and Mouthing, Toilet Training, Jumping Up etc which you may find very useful.

There are never any quick fixes where dogs are concerned.  Training them properly takes a lot of time and effort and there wil be times when you wonder why on earth you ever got the puppy and you will probably throughly dislike it but this does pass (frequently)

aww whatever bad habits he has you'll love him to bits!!are you getting an irish one like you wanted?

Consider getting a copy of "The Perfect Puppy" - lots of great advice in there for bringing up a puppy and taking it into adolescence and beyond :)

And don't forget puppy classes!
