Victoria Stilwell’s Tips for Potty Training Your Puppy Dog:

Line your entire puppy-proof room with Wee Wee Pads, which have a special scent to them so that your puppy will know that it should pee on it.  Every day, take away one of the Wee Wee Pads to start teaching your puppy to only go on the section of your room with Wee Wee Pads.  Eventually, you will get down to just one Wee Wee Pad and then you can take it outside to your yard to start teaching your dog to go to the bathroom outside only. It should take you 2-3 months to train your dog to to go the bathroom outside, and once your puppy has not had an accident for six weeks, Victoria Stilwell says you should be good to go!

Victoria Stilwell’s Tips for Teaching Your Puppy Dog Not to Chew:

Victoria said that puppies discover the world through their mouths.  If your puppy bites you then put him on the ground and walk away or make a little squealing sound.  Another tip from Stilwell is to get a Kong Dog Toy, which you can place in the freezer to help soothe your dog’s gums. Plus, you can place a tiny bit of peanut butter with a piece of their kibble into the hole on the side of the Kong Dog Toy, so that your dog will chew on the toy instead of your clothing, furniture, etc. It will be the best $8 you have ever spent!

Victoria Stilwell’s Tips for Teaching Your Puppy Dog Not to Cry At Night:

If you teach your puppy from a young age that it will sleep in its crate, it will be so much easier (and I am speaking from experience with two husky dogs).  My dogs actually love their crates now.  If they continue to cry, you can try petting your dog while they are in their crate, just until he quiets down.
