He is generally a good dog but I guess somewhat Max is only testing you to see how far he can go and sounds like he is
winning. Puppy raising takes a lot of patience and repetition for a young
dog to get it. As to the mouthing Max is in the process of teething, while
telling him no bite you should be replacing your body parts with something
he can chew. Another thing that works real well is a frozen wash cloth,
wet and stick in the freezer, once frozen give it to him, it helps numb his
gums.
For the stealing the pizza, you really need to be working on the drop it
command if you don't things will only get harder as he gets older. You
start with one of his toys in his mouth as you are taking it away you tell him
"drop it" or what ever few words you wish to use. Once out of his mouth you
praise him while looking it over and then give it back to him, again praising
him. Serves 2 purposes if he has something he shouldn't eventually when
you say it they will automatically drop it and number 2 you will be able to take
anything away from him for the rest of his life. This is something
everyone should do from the time their new pup comes home. All 4 of mine I
don't even have to finish saying the word drop and they are spitting.
Again this takes patience and lots of repetition;
Cockapoos are the best,
once you get thru the puppy stages, you will find yourself with the perfect pet
for your family more times than not.
