Grandpa Passed Away... :( and Potty Training Puppy...

My Fur-iends!: 
So... last week I was in talks with a friend/co-worker about getting this puppy from someone she's known for years who was in need of a good home. He's 3 months old, an Austrailian Shepherd / Gold Retriever mix. Then my parents come over and inform me my grandfather passed away... I did not go in to work Friday or Saturday. Saturday was the funeral... ALL of it. Grandpa's current wife decided she wanted to do everything the same day, wake, service, burial and fellowship luncheon... I hate the fact that I no longer have him around... but I'm soooo glad I don't have to deal with -her- anymore. NO ONE in the family liked this woman! I mean NO ONE! My one aunt wanted to deck this lady because she was a total bitch to my aunt after the service/before the procession and the lady's one daughter had to get her to knock it off. -_-; UGH!
ANYWAY! Focusing on the semi-positive here! New puppy. We ended up naming him Captain Jack Sparrow.. and that was before we had him in the house and could tell what his personality is like... trust me... Jack is... yeah... the name fits. ><; ANYWAY! Anyone have any house breaking tips? He's pissed on my good silk curtains TWICE. He goes out 1 or more times a hour for 5-30+ minutes... barking pending. Did I mention he barks? A lot? Like right now he's outside barking his head off and then stops for five minutes then starts again. *head desk*
Anyone have ANY advice I could look into? O.o;

My condolences to you an you're family. As far as the potty training, that's a hard thing to do sometimes. Cody still marks in the house when we're not home an sometimes at night even tho he goes outside alot. They have a spray that supposedly stops them from remarking if sprayed in the same spot. Cody gets in trouble, butt swatted an nose placed in potty spot, there is also the some doggie diaper thing for male dogs that keep them from peeing on stuff when worn, don't know if it works for potty training tho. The barking is gonna be hard to stop as well, hate to say it but sometimes the only thing that works is a shock collar for training purposes. I use a spray bottle an squirt Cody in the face when he barks an howls outside or when he's being bad, but that depends on the dog really. There are alot of books out there for puppy training too.
