The happenings of Tank the puppy

These are some things I've noticed about Tank the puppy:
1- Likes to bite Brooke's face
2- Take a running leap towards Brooke's face
3- Pee right next to the puppy pads but not on them
4- He does not like his toys in the kitchen, he will take them out one by one into the living room
5- He can squeeze through a very small opening between the couch and the entertainment
center to escape from the kitchen during the day and poop in the living room.
6- Likes to bite the bottom of your pants when you are walking
7- He does not like his harness or his leash
8- He does not like when the wind is blowing
9- He does not like Jimmy C, which upsets Jimmy because he came over just to play with Tank.
10- He does not like James's parents even though they brought over some bones.
11- He will take a leaping jump from across the room and try to get on the couch.
12- He does not like the tag on his bed and had proceeded to rip it off.
13- Pretty much likes to bite everything in sight.
14- Sleep on Brooke's shoulder like a parrot or on her arm while trying to use the laptop.
15 - Does not like the laptop in Brooke's lap because he wants to be there so he will pounce on the keys and cause Brooke's term paper to be messed up.
So far this little monster has managed to poop on the Levi blanket, rip apart my Winnie the Pooh blanket and piss on everything possible. But I still love him. Any advice on house breaking puppies? I already have about 5 puppy pads around the house and spank him when he doesn't go to the bathroom on them.

Be consistent. Everytime Bella would wake up, I would set her on the pad. After we would play with her for a while, we would set her on the pad or about 5 minutes after eating we would put her on the pad to poop. Praise them for going and give them a treat. You need to do it within 2 seconds because that's how long their memory is. If they have an accident and you witness it, hurry and move them to the pad and praise them for being on the pad. If you do not witness the accident you cannot get mad at them because they have no idea what they did wrong. Hope that helps a little. Good luck!

Constant supervision is the only thing I can recommend. But he is a damn cute dog.
