Lovely new set! I think the key to raising a puppy is to GET AWAY from them when you run out of patience. CONSISTENT behavior is what they learn from, but if you lose your temper or don't have time for them when they expect it, then they get very insecure and sort of give up trying to learn. Better to take them to a doggy daycare once in a while than to break routines. Also, I train every animal (dog, cat and horse) with a single clear word, a hand gesture and an action. after a while, just the hand gesture will do the trick (so you don't say "please be a good widdle boy and sit down" just say "SIT' (not in a yelly way, just firm and clear) then make you hand flat and push it towards the floor like you pushing their rump to the floor--and then do push their rump to the floor. --and keep at least three treats on your person at all times!

What breed did you get? Puppies can be a handful.
