[NAGDU] How to stop puppy biting and potty training

[Julie Johnson]

For biting, I like to make a yelp noise, imitating what other puppies would 
do if the play is too rough.  Then follow that up with immediate ending of 
the play session.  You don't have to stop playing for long, a few minutes, 
just enough to communicate the message that the behavior will result in no 
fun.

For housebreaking, a schedule plus lots of outside opportunities.   A crate 
is also super useful, when you can't watch the puppy or it's nap time.  I'd 
probably start with taking the puppy out every hour and paying attention to 
when the puppy goes to figure out that particular puppy's needs and pattern. 
You can gradually extend the time between breaks or eliminate the breaks 
when you are certain the puppy doesn't need to go.  I think it's better to 
have too many outside times than to clean up messes.

Any one have ideas on how I can get Sansa to stop biting in play ?
IS there any advice on potty training.
She is now 4 months old.
