So far I've taught Enzo sit and down, although he does sometimes lie down when I say sit. I just make him do it over when he does that. He also has better manners with people but sometimes he get too excited and will continue chasing someone who started playing with him and biting their pants or shoes. He also stopped jumping up at people for food instead he just sits an watches them or lies down watching (i don't know if that was a bad thing to teach him or not). Is there anything more that I should be teaching him now too? What are some other good commands for his age. Oh yeah he does come when called too, but only if I'm out of sight. Like he won't come if I'm like 10 feet away maybe.

I love the command drop it. As soon as I say it Nemo will drop whatever he has in his mouth, thats a good one to teach him. Even if he has a toy he will drop it, it's like automatic:D I taught him also to "Wait" like if he is going to get a toy or trying to run for something. I also taught him NO Outside, so when I open the front door for something I say no outside and he wont run into the front..
Good Luck
I know you live in BKLYN so I know how busy the streets are so maybe no outside is good for you..

I agree, teaching him no and to stay are two things that ae essential for a pup to learn. But you are doing great with him and have some of the best commands instilled in him already. Now you can teach him some fun things like speak or shake.:D :)
