He's really smart though, because he bit my neck really hard the other night and I gave him a lil spank and then he went and peed in three spots in the house even though he's house trained and knows to go outside! I taught him to sit with one try and he quit whining for food after one try of waiting until he stopped begging and gave him a treat. He doesn't bite my boyfriend like this, but he's out of town for the week. Oh and he has a million chew toys and stuff animals and bones that he'll usually chew on for a couple minutes then he comes back to my pant legs and toes, is he doing this to be bad or just because he's a puppy? (oh and when my boyfriend is actually around, he doesn't bite me as much or as hard......)

You haven't tried everything if you havent' enrolled him in a puppy kindergarten class where YOU can learn properly how to redirect the little darling. The puppy is attempting to interact with you in the only manner he knows how. It's up to you to learn properly how to channel his energy, set boundaries, and so forth. What you put into your puppy now, you will get back from your dog later. How this turns out is entirely up to you. There is no puppy on this planet that intentionally tries to be "bad".
