-----Question-----
My toy poodle is 3.5 months old.  He goes outside and does his business than will come inside and do his business a couple of minutes later.  I scold him but he acts as if nothing is a problem and would rather chew on the clean up cloths. Play plat play...... Help!

Try giving him a little more time outside and walking him around.  Exercise stimulates the body.

Answer
Young Labs, which I know best, and other puppies tend to very bad about
biting.  You see a litter of them, and all the ones that are awake are biting
another one or themselves.  I am not even sure they realize that when they are
alone, if they quit biting, they would quit being bitten.  At 3 to 4 months
they are getting their adult teeth, and it seems they spend every waking
moment biting or chewing.  One thing you can do at that stage is to knot and wet a piece of cloth.  Then freeze it.  The cooling will soothe the gums.  Only let the puppy have it when you are there to watch it.  I maintain a Lab's favorite chew toy is another
Lab.  Otherwise they settle for any person they can.  They keep hoping to find
one that won't yelp and jerk their hand away, or growl "Bad dog." and clamp
their mouth shut.  Then offer a chew toy.  They keep trying despite hundreds
of corrections.   Another good technique is to quit playing and go away.   Be
sure to praise them when they are playing nice and not biting.

You just have to keep on correcting them, hundreds of times, not dozens.
One of the things they learn between 4 and 6 weeks living with their litter mates is not biting too hard, and knowing when enough is enough.  You will have to take a zero tolerance stance on the biting.  The more consistanly you correct him, the sooner he will eventually give it up.   Provide sturdy, safe toys such as Kongs and Nylabones.  Avoid things they can
chew pieces off and choke on them.  Keep them away from electrical cords.
Crates are essential for most young Labs and other dogs.
