He's just a puppy he will get better, but it sounds like he might be training you. You have to be the dominate in the house. Make this crystal clear or you will always have problems. Never reward him for behaviors you find unfavorable. to these dogs attention is a reward whether negative or not. As far as how these dogs can be super smart & hard to train. They learn very quickly how to train there owners. They are absolutely adorable and they know it. They figure out quickly how to get exactly what they want. I think they can be very easy to train. Our little guy is a super quick learner, sometimes it's bad. It took about a week for him to figure out how to get out of his playpen which of course creates problems for us. And they are just like an intelligent child they get into mischief because they get bored. Consistency is the most important thing to training and never laugh at a behavior you don't want them to have later, they learn very quickly the sound their owner makes when they're happy, they want to make us happy so they'll continue to do that behavior, so just remember that the next time your puppy runs off with your shoe and you think it's so funny.
