Hi! I love this forums. Have been reading a lot. We just became first time owners of a beautiful Pembroke, named Samoa. We have never owned a dog before not even when I was a little girl. She has been with us a week now and it has been a changing experience for the whole family. A great one! She is now 7 weeks old and I have various questions regarding her training.

1. Is it normal for Samoa to pee while sleeping? I'm a little bit worried by this, she is fast asleep during the day and when she wakes up and I take her outside I noticed she is all wet.  This has happened at least 4 times during the week. Not that much but I am totally inexperienced so I tend to worry, should I?

We are using a crate with the bed inside. Her first night she didn't whine, she rested all night and early in the morning (5AM) I went to check on her and she didn't have any accidents in her crate, took her out and she peed and pooped fine outside.

Next night, she had peed on the crate on a corner, this has happened twice.

She is not having accidents inside the house, other than the ones while she is sleeping. 

2. How to avoid the nipping and biting? Reading a lot about this behavior... Have tried saying NO very loud accompanied by a clap, a little time out or holding her muzzle (very gently) and nothing. I now she is only a puppy but I would love to eliminate this behavior early on. Recommendations?

3. Baths aren't supposed to be regular, when can I give her a bath  & how often?

I may have many more questions in the near future and look forward to all of your help.Thanks a lot!! Lovely day to all.
