I have saved and recycled material for years. This is what I would suggest for a younger dog:
The key to most behavior problems is approaching things using the dog's natural instincts. Dogs see all the people and dogs in the household as a pack with each having their own rank in the pack and a top dog. Life is much easier if the 2 legged pack members outrank the 4 legged ones. You can learn to play the role of top dog by reading some books or going to a good obedience class. A good obedience class or book is about you being top dog, not about rewarding standard commands with a treat. Start at

At his age, it will be very slow going if at all possible to change him very much.
It is getting very annoying to not be able to hang out with my mom. Also we are worried for when little ones visit us. :/
