Here is more on how I trained my Husky puppy (starting at 8 weeks old).

5 weeks is really young for a puppy. Usually, it is best for a puppy to stay with her litter mates and mother until she is at least 8 weeks old. During that time, a puppy learns important social skills, bite inhibition, and social boundaries. Here are a couple of articles that go into this in greater detail-

Because of these reasons, it is required in some states to wait until a puppy is 7-8 weeks old before he/she is sold.

She is five weeks old. She chews on shoes and the furniture. She also doesn’t like to go outside right now but when I take baths she does show an interest in getting in. She will whine the whole time and just watch the water since she isn’t tall enough to actually stick her paw in. She also like to grab my covers off of me in the morning as if playing tug of war but she wont play with my boyfriend or I. How can I get her to play with her toys and chew on those instead of her chewing on and playing with everything she shouldn’t play with?

I think it will require a fair amount of training time and effort, but it looks like a hoot.

There are also many types of dog sports that could be interesting. I would pick ones that are appropriate for a dog based on his breed, size, and temperament.

My local SPCA or Humane Society usually has classes on some of these activities.

I try to get him to chew on toys but he just ends up chewing on the furniture or our clothes. Do you know how I could get him to chew on his toys instead of other things.
Also when I take him outside he tries to eat all the leaves. Should he do that? I have not had a dog that eats leaves so I was not sure what to do.
In addition, my puppy always sleeps. Then when he wakes up he plays, goes to the bathroom, eats, then goes back to sleep. He has his own routine. LOL
