I am sorry to hear about your problems with Oreo. This is common in puppies and does require some training to correct. You can read this article https://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/cream_puff_the_indonesia_moodle_dog/ by Dr. Sophia Yin which gives some brief ideas on training but I would highly recommend her book Perfect Puppy in 7 Days for more detailed information on how to correctly train your dog. The Puppy Primer by Patricia McConnell is also a good resource.
