For biting things he shouldn't......... you need to teach him the "leave" command. Tell him to leave whatever he's eating/chewing, if he doesn't use a water spray and give him a little squirt.......... definitely works, eventually you should be able to say leave it without the water........ when he leaves it give him his own toy to play with.

Are you giving him anything that may be sugary to eat....... I used cheerioes (don't know if you have them over there) when training Rocky and he kept going hyper at nights. Stopped the cheerios and he stopped being hyper.
Yeah i give him cheerios when he goes potty outside. Iv tried the yelping thing and ignoring him but he still just thinks its a game!

I want to try the water thing but will it make him more afraid of water when i bathe him or have to spray stuff on his coat?
