With Typsy's age she is currently teething. When Typsy bites you I would tell her no and swap your hand out with something she can chew on like a toy. At pet stores or online you can find toys that are great for teething. Here are some examples: https://www.amazon.com/Ropeez-Teething-Aggressive-Chewers-Natural/dp/B01N7SAZ2S/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1513786872&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=puppy+teething+toys%27&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/Nylabone-Puppies-Petite-Puppy-Combo/dp/B00EE653BC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1513786888&sr=8-3&keywords=puppy+teething+toys%27 This one you can put in the freezer to chill it so it comforts her gums: https://www.amazon.com/Multipets-5-5-Inch-Chilly-Bone-Canvas/dp/B0019608LK/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1513786888&sr=8-8&keywords=puppy+teething+toys%27 They are usually done teething by 7-8 months and then the biting usually calms down. I would also make sure when playing with her you are not using your hands, instead make sure you are using toys. With training her, if you are looking for potty training tips I would recommend crate training. The crate should be small enough for her to stand up, turn around and lay down. I would take her outside and see if she goes to the bathroom and if she does then keep her out and watch her 100%. When you have to turn your back I recommend putting her back in the crate. If you take her outside and she does not go to the bathroom then I recommend putting her back in the crate. If you find an accident just clean it up and don't say anything. If you catch her in the act then I recommend telling her no and then taking her outside to go to the bathroom and praise her when she goes. If you have any other specific questions about training you can always submit a question or request a consultation. Thank you for using PetCoach.
