For those of you that have trained puppies basic commands (sit, stay, come, heel), what is the best at-home method (not going to a class)? Does “clicker” training work? In your opinion, are there any good books/dvd’s that you would recommend for aiding in training these commands?
I have purchased a puppy and came to realize she is deaf. I am having a hard time training her to potty outside or to stop her from chewing on things she shouldnt. I have no experiance with training deaf puppies. She wasnt post to be deaf. I cannot afford to pay a trainer right now as i paid alot for her and got her vaccinations vet checked and etc.. And returning her isnt a option anymore.

I had a question up earlier and puppy pads were suggested, but now she just pees on papers and still NOT OUTSIDE. I haven’t found anything helpful online does anyone have a book or another option that could help me potty train and train her for basic behavior. Thanks so much.

Before we got our puppy, we thought we did not need to go to puppy kindergarten because we had read a lot of books and articles on how to train a lab puppy, what would be the potential puppy problems and stuff like that.
Then after we brought him home, we thought maybe we should sign him up for puppy class ONLY because we want him to get socialize with other puppies.
