Thank you all for your help... Unfortunately I feel like I've tried most of that - any time he knows I have a treat, he LUNGES towards my hand.. sniffing and licking and stuff. Even if I hold the treat just a LITTLE above his nose, he's jumping and freaking out trying to get it. I'll say NO and try to reposition him, but since he knows it's in my hand, he'll throw his head back and try to bite my hand.

AHHH!! Did anyone have problems with this? My mom suggested that I use his favorite ball instead to try and teach this, but I don't know what's best. Thanks again!
