If you are a fan of his show/books, I would advise enjoying it as entertainment and get yourself to seeing a real trainer
in person to get things on track and into more appropriate methods of dealing with the behaviour. If you heard it from a trainer, I'd find a new one...
Given the age of the dog (and puppies to nip & bite), I think that you should commit to some training and your girl is the right age for puppy classes. I should also add that and your wife both go to classes and have your wife work him through class while you be there to listen to what the trainer says so that the 2 of you are on the same page.
