How do I train a hyper dog?

He's still a puppy but he's getting big enough to be a problem when he jumps on you. He used to be good at sitting and lying down but as he's getting older he doesn't listen as well. Any tips?

If you shoot him, he’ll cut out that annoying behavior. My grandmothers dog used to do that.

How do you correct him when he does something wrong?

you HAVE to be the alpha dog. you have to let him know that and make him listen to you.

Train him after you exercise him. He'll be more apt to listen to you because all of his pent-up energy will be gone.
Praise and reward. Keep training sessions to about 10 minutes. Always end on a positive.
When he doesn't listen, don't scold. Just ignore the behavior and praise when he does it right.

I had a jumper. Every time he'd run up to me and jump up to me, 80 lb dog. Didn't bother me much, but my wife hated it and I was afraid he'd hurt one of the kids just playing.
Step 1 you have to be consistent, you can't even sometimes let it be okay for him to jump up on you
Step 2 A shock collar. When he jumps, he gets shocked.
It takes awhile but it works with even the most stubborn dog.

Tell him no, don't give him the treat. I've been trying to do positive reinforcement but it's hard when he doesn't do anything right

How much exercise is he getting? It's hard to get them to focus when they're bouncing off the walls due to not getting enough.

As some have mentioned, tiring them out helps.
You need to turn away from him when he jumps on you and ignore him until he sits, then reward.
At first, they'll probably immediately try to jump again after the sit. Turn away again. And so on.

What type of dog? Some breeds are known for being difficult to train.
If you can, bring him/her to obedience school to learn the correct way to train a dog. Shock collar alone won't work if you don't teach the proper behavior; you can actually make the behavior worse.

Put some pennies in a coke can and tape the top. When he goes to jump on you shake it at him and toss it at his face. They hate the sound. He will start to associate the negative reaction with jumping up on people.

He's a lab. He gets a good amount of exercise: running in the yard, fetch, etc. I've never tried training him after a run, I'll have to try that.

Yeah, he is testing you right now. Sounds like he is in "teenager" phase.
You really need to provide a negative correction.
Examples:
1. Your "no" needs to be aggressive, lower your tone and raise the volume. They understand these nuances more than the actual word
2. Physically remove him from the jump
3. Smack his nose or grab his ear and stand over him while saying the no.
4. If you don't want to do any of that, drag him to his kennel by the nape of his neck. Don't let him out until he has been 100% calm for an extended period of time.
Oh yeah and the correction needs to be immediate and short. If you wait he will not understand what he is being corrected for.
You need to be consistent. Don't ever let him get away with it. The second you reward him for a bad behavior, you just taught him it's cool to do it

Sounds like he just has a lot of pent up energy. He needs exercise. Maybe consider a second dog that can entertain him if you don't have the ability to spend a lot of time walking/playing outside. My dog does wonders for my mother's blue heeler when he comes to visit. The blue heeler is usually dead weight by 8:00 PM.
My Great Pyrenees has the opposite problem. He's a 6 month old puppy that lays around like roadkill the majority of the day and doesn't know how to jump yet. He will pay the crap out of your face though.

Knee to the chest. Not talking a Muay Thai knee or hurtful. Just a check. Mine does it. She fricking hates the knee. I just have to bend my leg and she stops.
Also, the answer to everything is to walk THE frick out of your dog.

Running around the yard is not exercise. His mind and body need to be towed out. Fetch is better, or take him out for a run (good for you both!)
Do not just get another dog, then you'll have two crazy animals that you can't control ;)
Get a pinch collar and take a basic obedience class together. I prefer positive reinforcement as well but a pinch collar gives you a little power steering for a big goofy dog.

None of this is entirely true. Running around the yard is absolutely exercise.
I can imagine some scenarios where this isn't the case, but I can state from experience that having a friend for your dog is extremely beneficial for keeping them both busy. My two dogs follow each other all around the house/yard every day and usually tire out in the evenings.

I have the same situation and I'm starting to get somewhere with her. She's 7-8 months old and close to 40 lbs.
Best I could say is let the dog know it has to behave for any kind of a reward.
When I feed her I make her sit and wait for my command to take the food, same with water, treats, chew toys and coming inside.
You need a lot of treats. Reward the dog for any kind of good behavior. We even have been using the clicker training, I'm sure you can look that up online, but it has been very effective with her.
You also need patience, good luck.

My dog used to jump on me. I would push her and tell her down. Then I would come down to her level. Seems to have helped.
