Try that, if not the spraying of water works well to discourage bad behavior. Some would say it's mean but it's just water and it only takes a couple of times of that before they get it.
Vainchick just gave you some great advise and yes - you do want to stop that kind of behavior asap - he's still a puppy and can learn quickly - Man...he must have REALLY loved those treats - what were they ?

I was looking at your avatar - THAT little angel face turned into a gang-banger over a treat ? How old is he ? ( he's super cute)
