Thanks for the info
Yes, I am sure that is what she means.

My initial response to the thread title?

Gently but consistently, and never, ever, ever give in! Resist the urge to laugh, and don't worry about looking ridiculous if you stop every few feet while leash training her so she doesn't pull. The sooner the better for leash training, and make sure everyone who walks her follows the same pattern. Looking silly and being somewhat (inwardly) frustrated now is a small price to pay for having a well-behaved dog on a leash for the rest of her life!

Yelping and stopping play when she nips, and immediately offering her an "okay to chew" object when she starts gnawing something verboten are both important, too. Hide all shoes and keep them out of her reach, as a puppy's teething time often means doom for shoes!
