The fact the puppy was only 5 weeks old when you got it may be part of the
problem. Those last 3-4 weeks with mom and sibling are critical for puppy
socillzation and pecking order establishment. Seems like she had no respect
for you and feels he/she is higher than you in the pecking order...something
you will need to learn how to change.
Your trainer should be able to help with that.........Lot of books on the
subject.
You must catch her in the act. Time out is a child's punishment not a
dogs.....the crate must not be used for discipline at all in my
book.......Praise good behavior and disipline/correct or redirect bad
bahaviors.....
There's lot's of info and recomendations under my training link.......on my
web site below.......
good luck!

We rescued a 5 week old lab/poodle mix in December 06 from H.S.
She is very head strong and does not respond to us unless we get the training
treats out. Shew sees this and she does want ever we ask, we have gone through
to intermediate training in puppy classes and she does great. When at home she
becomes is non resopnsive and pulls down any thing she can find to chew on. We
have tried all the corrections water spray bottle, time out in the laundry
room/cage and ecc. but she just looks at us like whats you problem. She is
very loving sometimes and we give her lots of affection, my wife is home with
her all day and is just about had it with chasing her non stop. We walk her tow
to three times a day and lets her play in the fenced in area, where we now have
many holes as she also likes to dig. Everone keeps telling us she will be get
better but from bitting to this is no longer something we can continue to
handle. If you have any ideas please let me
know!!!
Thanks,
