Hi Billy,

the best advice I can give is treat him like a dog not a baby.........the article I wrote on pack order explains why

wee ben is settling in well, gets on fine with the kids, still trying to get him to master toilet training tho! but he sits on command when he see`s a treat at hand, and also gives a paw! bad habbit he has is he`s still mouthing/ biting!
looking forward to taking him to classes and meeting you all.
thanks,
billy.

Best thing for mouthing is to yelp when he does it and stop interacting with him in any way for 5 mins or so.....he should quickly realise that if he mouths then playtime stops.
