I"m really not much help because my guy is pretty similar except for the potty thing....thats going fairly well but he is a ball of energy and loves to bite on daddy. I can say that he is a little over six months and has begun calming A LITTLE. He has lost some teeth which has seemed to help and we have just gotten him some bully sticks which he loves and keeps him busy for awhile. Please hang in there....in another month or so you should begin seeing a change in him....be consistent and firm but not harsh. I pray every night for the puppy thing to end but I also want to enjoy the good moments they have also...even though they seem to be few and far between.
