Question:

Our JRT male is 9 months old. He doesn't nip me and rarely even mouths me any more. He sits when I tell him, stays, comes most of the time, etc... (This is the one I keep working on) and is very affectionate. My husband has a bad back and is forced to spend lots of time lying on the floor or couch. The dog nips him, bites his clothing, never does as he tells him and basically jumps all over him, while my husband yells at him and has a very hard time generally getting the pup to obey him at all. Help!
