There are a couple of issues here:

1) Puppies should not be taken away from their litter until they are at least 10 weeks old.

quote:

He's too young to go outside. He hasn't been fully vaccinated nor has he started taking flee medication


So because he is too young (that's on you) to go outside, then it is your responsibility to train him correctly. Period.

2) Because he has been separated from his mother at such an early age, he has separation anxiety. That is why he cries at night.

3) Puppies and dogs will chew on anything. It is common practice to keep a home dog-proof, i.e. keeping objects out of reach for dogs to get into mischief.

4)Potty training takes time. The fact that he is so young means that he hasn't bean able to learn social behavior from his litter mates. That is on you.

So what you should do is buy a big wire kennel-crate, put the kennel in your room. Train your puppy to go outside at regular times. Always makes sure he goes before bedtime. If you have any questions about training, then ask your veterinarian.

Good luck, you can and will have a good relationship with your Great Pyranees. I have three dogs and they are worth every bit of trouble to bring the joy I have.

false. 7-8 weeks is very common.

All of my dogs did great at 7 weeks going outside like the big dogs and everything else. You just walk him out to the grass and nature does the rest, let him play around for a sec, grab him and take him back in. Simple. Effective.
