Last week we became the owners of 2 new pups. They are male Shetland Sheepdog / mix and are ~7 weeks old. My wife and I have never owned dogs before, so we need advice from all of the experienced TFP dog owners to help us through the tough parts. I appreciate everyone's help in advance!

Q: What is the best way to train them not to bite when being handled?

Q: Currently, I take them out at 10PM to relieve themselves before going to bed. We put them in a kennell for the night. At ~3AM, they need to go out again. How long before they are able to hold it through the entire night?

I'll definitely be back with more questions!!!
