Please don’t use an anti-bark collar.
Ask yourself, what are you teaching her to *do,* You can’t keep waiting for her to bite, bark or pee indoors and then try to punish it.
Forget the "pack" stuff — it’s all imaginary.
Use reward-based training to teach her the things you want her to do, then ask for those things — sit, down, come, stay, nose-target your palm ( a great alternative to nipping, jumping and barking, and it can lead to lots of other good behaviors, such as walking nicely next to you).
Then you have lots of things you can ask for, before she gets a chance to do what you don’t want.
Dogs bark for lots of reasons, but barking is often the sign of a dog who is not getting what she needs. If a dog really needs to go out, to have the water dish filled, if she has energy to burn, she may find lots of ways to get your attention, including barking.
If you anticipate her needs, notice pre-bark behaviors that may be requests, or at least respond after one bark, it can reduce barking a lot.

first of all, you have to be very patient.
paper training is hard to do because it teaches them that it is ok to go potty IN the house. so i would highly recommend using outside as a toilet. bring her out every hour, after meals, after naps,before bed, when you wake up in the morning, and after play. if she doesnt do anything for 5-10 minutes, then take her back inside. after a while, take her back outside and repeat the pattern until she goes. give her lots of praise and a treat when she goes.
i know this sounds like a LOT of time but soon it will get better and she wont have to go out as often.
and pleeease be patient!
hope this helps and best of luck!

First of all, do not paper train. By paper training, you are telling your dog that it is good to pee/poop in the house. Train her to go OUT. You do this with positive reinforcement and food or an activity that she likes. You make it pleasant and a big deal when she does her business outside. It will take time and CONSTANT training, no slipping on your part on this. The barking, get a plastic spray bottle and fill with water. When ever she barks, spray her with it and do not make a game of it. Use a stern tone of voice with her and say NO and spray her once…EVERYTIME. The biting is a puppy thing. You get Grannicks bitter apple spray from petsmart or petco and spray your hands or what ever she bites or chews with it and she will not like that. Do that all the time too and she’ll stay away from biting things that are covered with that stuff. Puppies are not easy but you owe it to her now to raise her. You made this decision to get her, now you have to follow thru with your committment. Dogs are living beings and as such, they are forever. Giving her away is NOT an option.
You can also have a trainer help you out. Look it up in your phone book or ask your vet for a reference to a trainer. You might need some help with this. Don’t be afraid to ask. Good luck!

Aw, no anti bark collar. Those are harsh and they do not help at all. It will just make your dog fearful or barking and one day it will need to bark but won’t because it is afraid.
Anyways, paper training is not the way to go. You need to get her wee wee pads. Buy them and put them on the floor of your house. When she goes to the bathroom, you show her what she did and shout NO to her. And then you put her on the wee wee pad when she has that look like she is going to pee or poop. But at 6 months you should really be teaching her to go outside. The younger they learn, the better. Take her outside anywhere from 15-20 minutes, until she goes. And when she does, praise her. But do this continuously, its the only way she’ll learn.
Biting, she has to know that it is absolutely not okay. I hope you bought her some toys, because chewing toys is a good way to keep her occupied and entertained. If she has toys and still bites, she has to know who is in charge and who makes the rules. If she bites your or someone else, you push her mouth away and shout NO. Stare at her in the eyes. Staring at a dog in the eyes will sometimes give them the message to back off. If she growls at you, you have to gently pin her to the floor. Lay her on her side and keep her there for a few seconds with your hands holding her down and say NO. Let go and if she tries to get up, push her back down, gently though. Keep doing this til she stays put. This will show her who is the leader of the pack, who is in charge and who she needs to respect.
With barking, she is barking because she needs something or something is annoying her. Put her on her leash. When she barks, do a quick tug on the leash and say SH. NO. Do this repeatedly til she stops barking. When she stops barking, praise her, reward her.
You have to keep up with these training exercises continuously or she will not learn.
Hope this helps, good luck! Remember, there is no dog that cant be trained! They just need the proper training!

Please don’t get the anti bark collar. First, it probably hurts the dog or shocks it…it can get traumatized for LIFE! Second, their expensive. Get a professional trainer. Try petsmart, i hear it works. Its a little over a hundred dollars but think about it, its for the dogs whole life.

Tori’s pack thing is not what a pack leader is , so dont do that. Get rid of the paper training and go out to potty train, the bitting is a puppy thing and the barking is bordom so forget the collar. You need to be taking the puppy outside frequently and she needs exercise and playtime.
