Getting The Best Dog Bed
If you own a dog, especially an older one, getting a good dog bed is a really great gift to give your beloved pet. The need a good place to rest and sleep just like us. After all, you wouldn't want to bed down in an uncomfortable mattress or sleep on a hard surface all night.
Sleeping on the floor or even on a bad or uneven bed isn't the best thing for a dog to do. As they get older it becomes even more important that they have a really good dog bed to sleep in.
The other reason to get a dog bed is, of course, to keep them off of yours or off of the best couch in the house. If you don't want them all over your furniture, get them a comfortable bed of their own that they will love and use for a long time.
From the simplest dog beds to the more elaborate types, there are many to choose from. Some are more or less like large bean bags, some are donuts or round pet beds. There are also bolster dog beds, which have sort of a pillow going all around the outer edge of the bed. Dogs like to use this as a pillow for their head while they sleep. Then there is the orthopedic dog bed and memory foam beds, which are among the best you can get.
There are also outdoor dog beds which are made for outdoor areas like the back porch and there are also heated dog beds. These are great for dogs, especially during the cold winter months. Even when you have the heat in the house cranked up, the floor can sometimes stay cold and it's not good for your dogs bones and joints. A heated dog bed will keep your canine pal comfy and warm the whole time like a warm blanket.
Another option you may want to look into is getting a waterproof dog bed. We have all taken our dog out for a walk when it is raining and wet outside. Whether we want to or not, we have to go out on those miserable days when the rain is pouring and we both get soaked. After a good towel dry, dogs still have some moisture left on their coat and skin. The nice part about a waterproof dog bed is that your dog can lay on this type of pet bed without getting it soaked on the inside where the water stays put. These beds are made for this so they do not get ruined every time your water soaked pooch rests on them. For those dogs that prefer to stay out on the porch or outside near their kennel or dog house, they are much happier on a waterproof bed than a conventional one that soaks up the water. It's not only a comfortable resting spot for sleeping and lying down, but it will last longer too.
Not all dog beds are the same just as not all dogs age the same. When your dog gets older, he or she will most likely develop the same types of aches and pains due to joint problems that humans do. When your dog starts to slow down due to joint pain, inflammation and arthritis, the best thing you can do is to look into getting them a memory foam dog bed.
As soon as your are aware that you dog is suffering from orthopedic issues, the floor is simply not a good place for them to sleep. Even a conventional dog bed just will not do. The even balance of a dog's weight is more important at this stage of their life than at any time before. A bumpy or uneven bed is not good for the existing joint pain and can actually worsen the dog's problems over time.

1. She’s a puppy.. pups do this. She doesn’t know what "NO!" means. Keep your hands away from her face and avoid the situation. When she does nip…try yipping loudly like a pup in pain and then ignoring her for a few minutes. Give her other things to chew on.. tell her she’s a good girl when she doesn’t nip.
2. She’ll only have a soft mouth if she is BRED TO. Backyard bred and petstore pups are unlikely to be "soft-mouthed". If you got her from someone who hunts or who shows their dogs you may have better luck.
3. This would be a GREAT question for your breeder. A responsible, reputable breeder would be willing to help you.
4. How long it continues really does depend a lot upon how old you got her as a puppy. Pups learn bite inhibition from their littermates. If she left her littermates younger than 8-9 weeks this biting stage will be longer (and harder).

side track her like shove a toy in her mouth i had that problem with my english mastiff and he is only 11 weeks and doesn’t bite me.

You need to Yelp first when bitten, then say no and walk away from the dog. This is what her litter mates and mother would have done. They have to learn how hard it is that inflicts pain.
Another technique is to give a time out. Do the yelp, say no and then put the pup in a safe, but confined area (I used our 1/2 bath) for just a few minutes. Do not pay attention to her when you let her out. Be really nice to her when she is playing nicely with you!

She is teething and needs to chew. But, there are things that I have been taught to do to train our pup to leave people and other things out of her mouth.
I have a mouthy 4 month old Collie and this is what I do and it seems to be working…
I yelp "Ouch" everytime I feel her teeth on me and then I get up and walk away and I have everyone in the family do it, too. She is slowly, but surely, getting the message that teeth on a people is not a good thing.
As for chewing on other things, when I catch her, I exchange what she is chewing for one of her chew toys. She is never left alone because she would destroy what ever she could get her teeth on!

Hold her muzzle when she does and say no thats how i taught mine

yes, all puppies bite hard, you really do have to train it out of them. I have never had any luck with the yelping, so if it does not work try grabbing her around the snout and holding her mouth closed for a few seconds. Also, when playing always have a toy to keep her away from your hands, if she is too rough stop playing and walk away. So long as you keep it up they all learn.

Your dog understands the word "Gentle". Say this each time if you speak this word softly.This works!
Be patient and remember the dog hears the volume level in your voice and may mistake this for play.
P.S.Get him a chew toy, thick rope or a tough rubber toy.

You need to say "ow" or any word like a dogs yelp. If you do this properly the dog should either pull away or start licking the area. You need to stop playing with her when she bites you. Ignore her attempts to continue to play with you. You are the pack leader and need to show her that when you say no, you mean no. This goes for everything. You need to show her straight away that you’re boss.
