This would be an ideal time to enroll Cooper in a beginner dog obedience class. There, you will learn how to get him to behave the way you want him to. He is almost six months old, and may be entering "doggy puberty." If there is a bitch in season anywhere around, he will be distracted by her and not want to listen to you. This would also explain his new burst of energy. You might want to consider having him neutered, too. Good luck with this!
