V's are generally very soft, and need a gentile hand with training. A 9 week old puppy is going to be hyper, destroy things, and needs lots of excersise. They will get the rips, racing around your house and basically acting like a puppy...
If you want to restrain the dog, place it on your lap (on it's back) like a child with one hand on it's stomach and the other near it's neck so that it cannot chew on your hand or slip out of your grasp. Leave it there until it starts to relax.
I would not recommend the can of soup idea, especially if you are going to hunt the dog as you may make it gun shy...pinching an ear or near the leg has always worked for me.
Do not use the crate as punishment or ever correct when the dog is in the crate.
