NO corrections for training issues at this stage. Your MAIN goal here is to establish yourself as pack leader FIRST. Have you watched the Pack Structure video yet ( http://leerburg.com/308.htm )? How about Your Puppy 8 Weeks to 8 Months ( http://leerburg.com/120.htm )? Once you have established pack structure you can focus on training some very easy things with Marker Training. Don't rush this phase - puppies need to play - their minds are not all there yet - they are easily distracted and are in a place where they need to bond more than anything else. No, I am not an alien!
