My 6-month puppy is hyper, bites, and has accidents. How to train?

Question

My husband and I have adopted a puppy from another couple who could not keep him. He doesnt want to sleep at all. Constantly on the go. He has started to randomly use the restroom in the house even after we walk him for an hour or more. He started to bite playfully but gets to rough at times. We use a stern voice to tell him to stop. Use a spray bottle with water but he keeps jumping biting etc. He is a lab/pitt mix was told he was 6 months old. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 85 lbs

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If the spray bottle technique does not work well, then leash training him and getting him trained with obedience commands is the next step. You need to train him to sit, stay, lie down, come, etc. This will give you better control over Blaze. I typically recommend having dogs like Blaze go to an obedience training course with a trainer to establish these commands. Once he learns these commands, you can command him to stop the behavior by distracting him with these commands. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any further questions and I would be more than happy to help you further.
