When you make the NO loud, be certain to use the lowest possible note you can muster. Dogs discern authority from lower vocalizations.

You might try looking for a book by Patricia McConnell (co-host of "Calling All Pets" on NPR) called THE PUPPY PRIMER. Its a whole bunch of practical solutions to problems encountered by almost every owner of a new pup.
