Yeah No.... one they are all grown up in the body.
Two they kinda got the world figured out socially.
It not till three that that brain kicks in and they slow down and calm down.. he got all his life to learn even after that.
I worked come in another post so am not going to repeat that.
down... he most lay down at some point in the day so reward that to start.
You can make a bridge with you leg and lure him under your leg and as his elbow hit the ground you can say down and treat him.
Repeat and lower leg , no pushing so he got to touch his belly to the ground... treat and say down.
Same with speak catch him as he barks or if he gets excited over something say speak them and reward. And remember to teach the off button quiet as well.
Shake a paw... Humm now I did this a long time ago with my dog.. on the floor treat in hand and close hand so dog can not get it. he is going to nudge it with nose if he reaches with the paw open hand and give treat say paw at the same time.
Hope that helps

Thanks, I'll have to give all of that a try. He only really barks when there is someone at the door, but lately he's started this thing where if you walk by someone he'll start barking, or if you go to touch someone he'll freak out. I don't know if thats natural for not but just lately he's been doing it and telling him 'quiet' doesn't usually work.
