Thanks. We've been leaving his food bowl out all day, so we'll change that part and try to get him on a regular feeding schedule. I'm worried though, that if we don't leave water out for him, that he might not get enough to drink ? With the cats I used to have, they always had water available.
I found a website (www.perfectpaws.com) which has some helpful video clips too on puppy training. Today I tried some of the tips on getting him to stop biting and jumping up on people. It seems to be helping a bit.
I may try the crate next weekend; I just cleaned it today but haven't used it yet. I'm gone during the day so I can't do it during the week, even though my friend comes over at lunchtime to let the puppy outside. I was finally able to get the enclosure in the garage set up so that he couldn't escape... for 2 days. Then he found a way out again, so I fixed it again so that he couldn't. That was a couple days ago. So now at least he is eliminating on the paper in the enclosure, and he pees when we take him outside.
