Hi Meena, where you want your doggie to make his business for the rest of his life? Think about it and then stick to it. A puppy can’t walk and control at the same time; thus he will relieve himself as soon as he can. To overcome that, I used to carry my puppy to the toilet area, until he was 4 months old and was able to walk and to control. Of course, accidents happen and you have to use a special cleaning agent (available at pet shops) to ensure that no trace of smell remains at the wrong spot, because if the puppy gets this smell it would mean to him that this was once a toilet area = it’s OK to do it here. Teething is a normal thing for puppies and you just need to get one of those chewing toys and to praise your puppy when chewing on it. To protect your furniture, you could use some commercial products (stay away types) or try out some home remedies. To teach your puppy that biting is a NO GO is important and you should never tolerate it. Be firm about it and use the socializing regime & training methods as outlined in several other threads and tons of postings. Have fun reading them and most of all, have fun with your new furkid.
