Thanks, I'll try that!! He does learn quickly, I've taught him to sit before he gets something and when i tell him to come he comes to me and sits automatically even when i feed him when we are in the house, the only problem i have is when i have him in the yard and he runs around like mad and runs toward me and jumps and either tries to bite my hand or feet!! I dont wrestle with him cause i know that is just letting him know that play biting is acceptable, the only time he tries to bite is when i let him run in the yard, but also when i take him for his walk he is fine but sometimes out of the blue he will jump up and bite at my arm as we are walking(happened a couple of times not all the time he will do this), i do have the patience for training him cause i know bulldogs are stubborn and i am firm yet gentle with his training, he wont do this to my husband he hasnt bit him at all, just me! Yeah i shouldnt yell at him, cause i realize that the more I yell no to him the more it does excite him! he lives indoors with us and is fine when he is in the house but it's when i go outside is when he starts running around like mad and bites!! I tried telling him sit and down when he tries to jump up but he is running in full motion when he is running at me!! and you said to turn my back to him well the problem with that is he is running in circles around me trying to get me from behind!! I guess i should have him on a longer line like you suggested, i only have him on a regular leash when i let him run in the yard,

uppy classes are starting this weekend hopefully they could show me how to handle my puppy when he does this, and figure out what i'm doing wrong!!
