| Much of that is just puppy exuberance, however pyrs are big 
puppies so you cannot let it continue. Mention what he is doing to the Petsmart 
instructor.  They should be able to help you deal with it.  In the 
meantime, practice making him do a lot of downs and stays (or "settle" as 
they call it at Petsmart).  This will help him to realize that you are the 
boss and he has to respect you. Susan

 My 5 mth old male GP jumps and bites me while I'm trying to walk him and 
  when I go in his yard. He has left bruises and cuts on my legs.  I've 
  tried saying NO and shaking a can with pennies in it and nothing helps. I have 
  him in obedience school at PetSmart. He's only been to 2 classes. I hope  
  they can help me fix this. He's fine when we go to his classes. It's only at 
  home when he does it.  Will he grow out of this? Is this normal at this 
  age?
