Chad1,

I have mine own training ideas also, but it's good to
realise when their're not working. Have you tried a puppy
training website? I found a good one for my pup at;

Since, as you probably know, each pup is different in
character & temperment. Gosh, an 8 wk old St. Bernard,
I'll bet it's a beautiful pup. Great breed. Good Luck.
