Dog Health Questions: I need some assistance in my dog training routine,?

I have a 10 week old puppy, he is a Springer spaniel x staffy, we have got as far as sit and stay but I am really struggling with "DOWN" he only ever jumps up on the sofa when I am changing my babies nappy and grabs at his socks I don't want him to nip my son and make him afraid of the puppy, sometimes I try NO, he backs off I praise him and tell him he is a good boy but then he comes back and jumps up again but in a hyper nippy kind of way then trys to nip at my legs, his teeth are sharp but I want to break this habit fast.

4 Tips To Successful Obedience Dog Training

Recommended Answer:
Something I learned while observing dog training classes and watching Victoria Steelwell's show, That something disobedient your dog does can be changed into something obedient. Train him to jump up on the sofa when he's called, and off when he's told so, so there's an "on switch" as well as an "off switch"

Also, being a puppy, he looks like he needs some kind of outlet for his energy, other than disrupting you while you try to tend to your baby. Does your puppy have any toys that could keep him occupied? Like a rawhide bone or one of those treat balls, where the puppy has to figure out how to get the treat out of the toy. Distract him with those whenever he tries to bother you while you're changing your baby.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

  I would get motivated when they were puppies, but then never really follow through.
  
  In Just 7 Days after I started my action plan, I have seen a remarkable change in my Benny. It's like he has completely changed.
