Divegirl is correct. You DO NOT punish a 10 week old puppy by spraying water at him. He is only a baby and this is unkind IMO. You train by Positive Reinforcement which means you reward good behaviour with a treat when he is not misbehaving or when he obeys you. If he misbehaves you withdraw the treats and then ignore him until he reverts to good behaviour. Make sure he has something he enjoys chewing on to lessen the chances of him chewing or nipping where he shouldn't. I believe Icemaiden is also correct when she says letting out a yelp (loud and sharp) and turning your back will give him the message that it's not OK to do that. Victoria Stilwell uses the Positive method rather than the Confrontational method used by Cesar Milan and in my opinion is a much better trainer. Hope this helps. Good Luck and enjoy your puppy.
