I am adopting a 12 week old puppy soon. She's my first one and I'm so excited! =)) But I'm a little unsure how you train a puppy... like housebreaking, teething, etc. Do you have any advice for a first-time puppy owner or any good books you would recommend? Thank you!
ETA: She is a sheltie/corgi mix. I have read that shelties and corgis are very vocal dogs... will she be a barker? How do you discourage barking?

Wodehouse’s No Bad Dogs. great book, good advice And when she get a bit older see if you can find an obedience school that does the obstacle course thing, that mix of breeds will love that. Good luck and congratulations on your first four legged friend.
How to Teach a New Dog Old Tricks or any of the Sirius Puppy training series by Dr. Ian Dunbar is an excellent book for a first time puppy owner.
Anything by Patricia McConnell is a good read too. most of them aren’t “how to” but more informative. Ian Dunbar’s book is step by step.
