I just want to thank everyone so much for their replies... I'm sorry it's taken a while to get back. I've been busy at work and then with the dog... I appreciate all of your suggestions, I've tried a lot of them and they are working!
What is helping the most is standing up straight and stiff and showing him I mean business. The first time I tried this, he let go of my pants, sat down, and licked my leg (the first time he ever licked me!) I've also been exercizing him more and I think this is helping as well. We've always done a lot of "fetch" in the house but I'm taking him on long walks at the end of the evening now and it really wears him out (in addition to the smaller walks I do throughout the day.)
Thanks again for all of your help... looking forward to puppy class next week!
