Dog Health Questions: Dominant Dog Training Help?

My mother and father have a 3 year old Boston Terrier. He has always acted up some, but his behavior is becoming more of a problem. What he does is race in front of people and bark, jump, and tries to bite when someone leaves a room to go downstairs or upstairs. What can be done to correct this behavior? Here is the thing, my father is retired and spends the entire day catering to the dog, holding it in his lap, talking to it. He is disabled with Parkinson's disease and really doesn't have much else to do since he is 71, but the dog expects everyone to do this with it, and that just isn't possible. Any advice is appreciated.

Dog Training Tips That Work Best For Smart Dogs

Recommended Answer:
The dog just needs structure. This isn't dominance. It's just because everyone lets him do whatever he wants. When he does something you don't like you should tell him no and put him in time out. He should get praised and rewarded for behavior you do like. Also basic training and obedience would give the dog some manners. He needs to be walked everyday too.
