To keep him from jumping on people, ask everyone to ignore him when he jumps on them. To just keep walking. then when he stops jumping give lots of attention.

On the using your baby as a chew toy.

It always irritates me when people speak of a puppy as being agressive. A puppy would only become aggressive if he were threatened and cornered. And even then it would not be aggression, it would be defensive.

if your puppy is 9 1/2, and you already have had him in your home, he was taken from his mother before he was taught how to play nice. that is why he is biting at your baby, he just wants to play and does not know how to play nice.

toodlers and puppies are never a good mix. either the toddler is pulling on the puppy or the puppy is biting at the toddler.

When ever the two are together you need to be right there on the floor with them, teaching them both how to play nice.

Training classes only teach you how to teach the puppy, they do not teach the puppy. Even hiring a trainer to come to your house will only work if you learn how to do what the trainer does. Otherwise as soon as the trainer leaves the puppy will go back to his old ways.

So supervise and teach.
