Thanks so much for the advice on the books! To start with, I got "The Culture Clash", "How to Raise a Puppy You Can Live With", and "Don't Shoot The Dog". I also downloaded Ian Dunbar's free book, "Before you get your puppy". I didn't get Sheila Booth's book yet, as I haven't even finished the new ones I got, yet. Amber is now 10 weeks old, and learning well. These are the best training methods! I never dreamed you could teach a dog not to beg at the table by feeding her! I started out working with the whole litter as suggested in two of the books. Annabelle went to her new home at 7 weeks,everyone loves her, and we waited until 9 weeks to send Murphy home because his new folks have small kids. I talked to his new owner yesterday, and in a week, he hasn't had one single "accident" in the house! Our mamma dog even benefits from these training methods. She was always belligerent about being made to lie down, and now she is on her way to doing it willingly! I could go on and on..... Anyone who is still stuck on the old methods needs to look at positive training. Thanks again!
