Ok I might get into trouble here but storm was the same way. I thought I was going to kill him if it didn't stop. It took a lot of patients and many different things.
here is what worked the best, doesn't hurt him and I still do it. when he started to bite like you say i would hold my hand under his jaw and hold his tongue down and say no. It took several times but he got the message.
Because I work I have him on a schedule.His play time is after supper. I take him outside and play hard with him, whether it be a ball, or squeeky or stuffed animal, he has my attention, full attention then. He gets walked as soon as I come home from work. I don't have to leash him, he gets to run free and we go walking in the bush. How long depends on how he is doing physically that day.
I didn't have the jumping because he couldn't but I ended up with that when he was 90lbs. So I pushed him down said no and made him sit. we turn when he goes to jump and when he calms down he gets attention.
It can be very trying at times but be patient. I also found aggresion does not work with these guys. you have to be patient and firm, but not aggresive. My mom slapped storm one time, it was not a good scene. She also tried to "pin" him down to show him she was boss, not a good scene.
good luck!!!
