It really is two steps forward and one back....one to the side, upside down with puppies. Good for training people to be quiet with him. Also be careful of ramped up excitement with humans eg during computer games.

The only problem is that I'm not sure if I would be teaching him to bit and bark in order to get the treat ?
I think that's a very real risk, and you risk confusing him if you use more than one strategy. You've seen a lot of improvement in a short space of time, and there will be setbacks. I would stick with removing him (or you) from the room the moment he oversteps the mark, and trying to keep everything calm in his environment. Remember that at his age, even when he understands what he should do, he can't always control his urges, and the more 'energy' there is in the environment, the harder it'll be for him to control himself.
Sorry for all the questions.
I never really understand how you can give a dog a nap if he doesn't want one... but if you can encourage him to have some down time, that would be good. I taught my dog 'On your bed, settle down' and it did (sometimes) work when he was in that cranky overtired evening phase.
How long are you leaving him isolated for each time?
Please don't think it's bad behaviour its perfectly normal puppy behaviour ...you can give him time out but please dont isolate him ...he is only a baby still even though he looks older because he is a giant breed .....these early weeks are so crucial to how he develops as an adult ..puppies are like having a new born baby bloomin hard work .....you will get there![]()
Have you seen the new dog Teddys for pups ...I think they are JML but you can buy them in asda Robert dyas...you warm it in the microwave and it simulates a heartbeat...I wonder if this would settle your boy ....
