    Oh no, Star got a little bite (not hard) on the ear when she was that age. My son still talks about the scar he has on his nose because Star gave him a correction nip! Oh, those puppy teeth are SHARP!
    One thing JoJoe did that seemed to work - if she nipped him, he would put his thumb in her mouth & hold her tongue down in her jaw for a second while telling her "no bite!" Didn't take long - she did NOT want his thumb in her mouth. (but she's okay with having her mouth inspected)
    It just takes a lot of patience & consistency, he'll get trained. At eight weeks, he may not have the best bladder control yet. At that age, we used to take Star out every time she drank water, every time she ate, and every 1/2 hr. or so, & really praise her for going potty.
    I've also read that if a dog goes in a certain spot, try spending some time in that area - reading, playing with them, whatever. Dogs won't potty in their living space. (This worked for us with older dogs, not sure about puppies.)

    I sure hope your roommate catches on soon!
    It's so sad when someone gets a puppy "just because"

    I hope everything works out with the pup.
