Hello guys.
3 days ago I welcomed home a Jack Russell, 2 months old. I don't want to make any 'mistakes' in his education, especially in the first months. We are a couple, in this moment just one of us is working so there is always someone at home. Right now as you know we can't go out with him because he still needs to do all the vaccinations so he will have to do everything at home.
The first thing that I'd like to teach him is to do his needs in the pads. I really need advices for this. At the moment apart from one time he has always done his needs eveywhere in the house except from there.
What we do is 'following him' after he wakes up (he sleeps something like 20 hours a day then he wakes up 20 minutes and he comes back to sleep) and after he pees in a wrong place we say 'NO' to him and we put him in the right place on the pads. Still no results, maybe it's still early. How long does it take normally to teach dog this? What are the best ways to do it? Are we doing right?
Another thing that we are noticing is that he likes to bite our hand, feet, everything... Is that normal at this age right?
Thank you very much.
