Have you tried this tactic ? Just giving praise and treats for the right behavior, and just ignoring the bad? This is what I did with gizmo as I think he seen any attention, good or bad as attention, and because he's a pup could not distinguish between the two. He soon figured out once I ignored the bad behavior that only the good behavior got him anywhere :-)
