OH WOW! HE IS SOOO CUTE! & welcome to yt!
i'm sure getting a professional trainer would help but you gotta realize that they're only gonna tell you how to do it, and not teach the dog for you since they won't be there all the time to watch bauer. I'm re-potty training Einstein right now because he's maybe 10% potty trained and it is definitely my fault. Einstein used to bite all the time, and when I say bite, I mean BITE. My boyfriend start spanking him everytime he bit (trust me, I didn't want this at all!) --but now all I have to say is "no biting" and he will transform into licking mode! that definitely took a toll off of me. I think you just have to take on one thing at a time - bits and parts of different training steps might not make it permanent in his mind. I know this response is all over the place but I hope it helps!
