I was searching about types of dog on the internet last night and I came across this websites http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/topdogrules.htm, it tells you how to show the dog the alpha position. Then I found out I have been making lots of mistakes and leading him to be the leader for instance, when you are walking it, it is very important to make it heel(walking next to you or kinda behind you on the side), otherwise they think they walk you, not you walk him. I don't want to have a dominant dog so I gotta be more more strict and fix the bad habits. He always only listen to my husband because my husband is strict and can be able to struggle with him. To me, he is like a baby that I always want to squeeze and kiss hehehehe. That explains why he doesn't listen to me as much. That website is pretty interesting, it points out lots of incorrect things that I have been doing with my puppy. Hope you find it helps:-)

Put him down everytime when he is going to jump up and tell him NO. Dogs are just like kids, tell him not to do this or to do that couple times then they will figure out what's right and wrong. Don't let him jump up by himself, he can jump up only if you let him otherwise, he will get dominant. I hopw it helps you! :-) Thanks for sharing! :-)

to train your dog to be a good dog is the only way to train your dog, or u r wasting your time and wasting a good dog..... Always train your dog to heal, head at your left side until he /she fully understands that is the only way they will go for a walk all the time.. then other training can go on from there..
