[QUOTE=lizbud;2067984]The puppy is much to young (at 8 weeks) to be housetrained yet.

I must dissagree. I trained Tanner at 8 weeks, and by the time he was a month he could dance, sing, hi five, low five, beg, and shake. by the time he was a month and a few weeks he was fully potty trained. He never ripped up anything. Once he chewed on a piece of furniture while we were on vacation. And that was it.
