My energetic dog barks excessively and bites when excited. Help!

Question

Hello, my dog Winston is a Malitpoo and is very energetic. When he is in the house, he is always barking at me and my family for no reason. My father said that there is something wrong with him if he is doing that and that he should not be doing that. Even when I play with him, he bites when he is excited instead of nipping like he should. Is that a problem? I am scared that one day Winston will get hurt by another dog with this kind of behavior. What can I do to help him? Pet's info: Dog | Maltipoo | Male | neutered | 1 year and 4 months old | 23 lbs

Winston is still a puppy and it sounds like he could benefit from additional training. These links may help. Remember to be patient. Training is typically slow and it must be consistent: https://www.petcoach.co/article/puppy-biting-nipping-of-hands/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/puppy-biting-when-does-it-stop/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-tips-to-stop-excessive-barking-in-dogs/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/excessive-barking-a-common-behavior-problem/ I hope this helps.
