i realise that leaving him by himself most days is not ideal but i do have someone who goes over there every now and then and i spend all night and morning with him and weekends are free so whilst its not ideal i will have to train him the best way i can toilet training hasnt been to bad so far, he usually goes in the exact same spot in the laundry and when im home i take him out every half hour to hour , after every meal and nap and he goes straight away. the accidents we have had he has gone near the front door which i think is a good sign as i may have missed him sniffing around. will he just pick up to go to the front door and let me know he needs to go out? other then the biting and taking off every now and then he is a very good dog and i have enrolled him into puppy preschool so hopefully that will help too thanks for your advice

hi guys ive just bought a black 7 week old toy poodle (very tiny) his name is percy ive only had him for 4 nights now i work full time and live by myself so most days his left at home by himself in the laundy/bathroom area. this is also where he sleeps and he is very good and hardly whinges when he gets left in there to sleep at night the first 2 days he was home he followed me everywhere! didnt bite, loved being picked up, was really well behaved but the last 2 days since his been left at home by himself he has started biting when anyone pats him or picks him up and running around crazy into everything, the first 2 days when i put him on the grass to go to the toilet he would never wander to far away from me now he wants to take off the main problem is the biting, i have given him a few toys and little bones etc to chew on but his more interested in toes and fingers, he seems very aggitated so im assuming his teeth are hurting him a fair bit his due for his second vaccination on the 22/12/07 so i dont really want to take him to puppy preschool until he is fully vaccinated any suggestions on how i can get him to stop biting etc? thanks
