u can get more toys for him/her. my guess is she/he don't know how to play with the toys u bought. Like my dog, i bought him a ball since he is 3months old, i think until he is 5months old only he started to play with it cos he cant bite the ball when he is small. You can try to get him some rope type toys and nylon bone. They usually loves this 2. Biting is really normal to a dog, u have to teach them what they can/cannot bite. like telling them no when they bite the thing they are not supposed to bite. you cant expect them to learn it in 1 day as we, human also don't understand what they barking for. so give cookies n urself some time.
As for barking, puppy usually gets very stressful when they 1st goes to ur house. They are with their mum n sibling since they are bone until they reached ur house. They are quite attached to us so gives them sometime. tickling alarm clock helps to calm them down at night cos they will usually assume is their mummy's heartbeat. you may try it out.
hey gal, after i get ur reply
i just got him nylon bone and rope toys which recommended by the petshop owner.. cookie seems like it alot.. cookie play wit it, no time barking oso.. (sometimes still will larh..)
but cookie still luv to bites.. getting harder oso.. (mayb he thought we're playng wit cookie once we pointed at him n say NO)
now once cookie bites we will put cookie back to the cage..
"good thing" is, cookie barks in d morning around 7 smth while we still sleeping.. btw usually what age , you guyz will let ur doggie out without keeping them in d cage? im afraid cookie pee everywhere again when i let him sleep wif me.. or is it once he knows where to poo n pee?
i hv a mini pincher back at my hometown, he sleep with me but poo n pee outside at d car porch.. dats wat i wan to train cookie to be my m.pincher..
some petshops owner say this age is most "critical" time for them as we shud discipline now... (actually i went to few petshops to ask d same ques whether is there any method to stop him from biting n barking..

)
