This pup is probably close to 90 lbs.
More training, and more work is all that is needed. If he will only work for treats....see if you can get him to work for a toy...or mix the treats and toys up...and then slowly start using praise...and skipping a treat here and there...and slowly phase out treats when you give a command.
During training always use some sort of reward...and be positive.

Just to clarifiy, he doesn't only work for treats. He will always work for treats, without treats it usually matters how many distractions are around.
I'm just assuming that if I stay consistent, train, and continue to make everything fun. He will be the dog everyone else wants when he's 3+ years old.
