If I read your post properly, you are talking about the 9 week old Miss Lily car chaser extraordinaire. At 9 weeks old, it's a pretty tall order to expect a pup of that age to exhibit any impulse control as well execute any obedience skills. Heck, she's just so young. I'm not a huge fan of management in many cases as a fix but in this case since she is soooo young, the less you allow her the opportunity to immediately gratify her urges, the better off you will be and it will so much easier to train some impulse control into her when she matures a bit. At 9 weeks old, I'd be building the bond and exploring her new world together, you'll have plenty of time in the very near future for teaching some of the items others mentioned. Miss Lilly's attention span right now is minimal and expectations should be commensurate with this phase. I might build on any good behavior she offers or good behavior you can gently create, mostly through fun interaction.
