Welcome to the terrible 2's puppy version....this is the time when your puppy will forget everything that he/she has learned.
Yes, this may mean forgetting potty training if not already concrete. It may mean pushing boundries and limits in chewing and just overall bad behavior.
Nipping needs to be curtailed at this stage, if the dog nips then its no attention for the puppy...Trust me older dog with a nipping issue will result in hospital visits.
This is also the time where you can start experimenting with allowing the puppy increased boundries however not quite the stage where sleeping on any bed would be a good thing. Until and only until boundries are established can you push forward allowing a little flexability.
In that being said Jazmin sleeps on my bed at 8 months old however she understands that I am in control in the house. Obediance classes are a good thing, yes this means enroll or find your local SPCA or shelter that may offer them for free, the little money you may spend now in training will be a life long return in both a happy dog but as well a confident strong leader to help the pup thru life.
Hope this helps,
Sincerely,
Donald Centner
