Find an obedience training class or get someone to come to your home.
We are not experts at this training thing so sometimes we have to call in someone who has lots of experience.
It is relatively inexpensive to take a dog to obedience classes and learn the basics and the plus is: they get socialized in a class with other dogs as well as the trainer having lots of advice about other things. The class is for the owner, the socializing is for the pup. LOL
It is a waste of a beautiful dog to not give it basic obedience training. Have you figured out yet that this is a highly intelligent dog you have? and manipulative? This little beauty is capable of becoming the ruler of the kingdom, believe me. LOL
Potty training is a matter of consistently putting the pup outside every hour on the hour until it learns. Bells tied to the doorknob works, especially if you give a treat every time they shake the bells. (Make sure rope is long enough so can be reached by the dog)
I had to potty train a 5 yr old. I took her out, said "go pee" and if she did, I gave her a small treat.
She now finally, scratches at the door and I let her out attached to a leash attached to the doorknob.
Good Luck and we love to see photos
