^ Agree, 100%

Logan was the one of the lower puppies of his litter and when we got him home he was incredibly meek and mellow... Then three days later the demon was unleashed and I wondered what happened to my sweet, quiet little boy!

You'll have your hands full but it'll be the most rewarding and amazing experience you can imagine. Stick with it, and when you form a plan (feeding schedules, walk schedules, discipline schedules, etc.) things will become a lot easier. The key is repetition and dedication to the house rules - straying will cause confusion which will make your and her life hell. I cannot begin to stress this enough. STICK with your plan, even when she bats those cute little doe eyes for that food scrap on the counter.

Consistency is key!
