Training classes would be the best thing for him, you earn how to control them with commands, and they get socialized at the same time. Practice what you are taught several times a day in 2 or 3 minuet exercises. Sit, stay, are both great, but my favorite is wait, and to help burn off some energy, park it and off. Park it is they get on their bed or what ever you have them get on, off is just that, off, couches aren't good for this because of jumping off of them, but if you have a low foot stool, that would work great. Check your local trainers, and see what and how they teach, but training classes are the way to go IMO. Good luck.
