My 9 month old GSD has been through puppy obedience classes. But when he comes into the house he jumps all over the furniture, chews on the kids, and will not listen. What should I do?

Hi, I have been reading your articles on training for about five months. I purchased a german shepherd puppy at the age of seven weeks old, he is now seven months old and just does not listen. He loves to be outside, but when he comes in the house he jumps on furniture, bites the kids, and basically just doesn't listen. I have taken him to puppy school and we are on level one obedience right now. I just don't know what to do with him. I don't want to leave him outside all the time I want a good house dog. My other shepherd was so good in the house. I was just wondering if this will get better as he gets older. I was thinking of sending him out to a private school for obedience.



Please help and let me know what to do, or do I just need to let him grow up and have patience with him.



Thank you so much,
Darleen
