Ok…she’s way too young for you to worry about most things…focus on the positives. (She should have stayed with her mommy for a couple of more weeks, but if you already have her, then you will need to deal with it). Your breeder sucks, btw, I would either file a complaint or spread the word around for others not to buy puppies from her/him.
Dont worry about training her all that much now. If you do have sessions, make them last 5 min or so, she is very very young. Also if you are training her, do it when she is tired and not full of energy.
I would just focus on her knowing her name, coming to you when you call, and maybe sit or something.
With the leash…maybe let her sniff it when its not on her…give her a treat when she does…leave the leash on her in the house…let her drag it around (you dont need to be pulling on it). I leave it on my puppy and it is also very good for training and for when he is getting in trouble. If he heads for the litter box (for example), I’ll step on the leash and he cant go further. You can used that too, if there is something that she doesnt need to be doing, step on the leash…say “no” and take her or direct her somewhere else.
Keep her in the same room as you. Say her name, if she looks up at you, praise her and give her a treat. After a while she should learn. You can also do it for the “come” command. Hold a treat, Say “(Name), Come Here” and when she does, give her a treat and praise her. You can also use a leash to pull her towards you (gently, of course). Do that a couple of times a day for 5 min each time and she will learn in no time.
With house training, start praising her when she goes outside, give her a treat and use some sort of command, like “good potty” or something like that. Also watch her in the house constantly, if you catch her squating to pee or poop, say no, pick her up and immediatly take her outside, praise her when she goes….She’ll learn.
I would definitely spay her, especially considering the fact that her breeder is a moron and you never know why or how she breeds her dogs.

Michael asks…
How do I stop my puppy from crying/barking?
I’ve read tons of info on puppy training and watched videos. I’m really losing my patience. Buddy my baby Lab is awesome when I can give him attention. When I’m out of the room for more than 15 seconds, he starts crying. I understand that I need to exercise him and do some training such as “sit” and “down”. That’s great and all, but I can’t commit more than 2 hours a day. Another major issue is that he’s not fully vaccinated. It’ll take another 3 months before I can even walk him or take him outside for some good exercise. So what are my options?

My nephew’s Alakskan Malamute is the same way. As soon as she hears that front door close, she started crying. But after a few days she got used to it. And her whing and crying stopped almost 90%.
Also you can try getting her interactive toys, and hide treats inside. Maybe that will keep her mind busy. Good luck, i hope that helped
