#1.ok i know what everybody will say. its marking but hear me out. my puppy is only about like 7.5 months old, and when he goes on a walk around the block, he actually pees eight times. not just marking but really squating and peeing. is that weird of is it normal of his age.
#2. whenever he decides to go to the bathroom he runs into the room and starts barking and biting hands and feet. we now know that when he gets bothersom its time for the bathroom. but is there any way we can change his behavior when he has to let us know when he has to pee?
#3. how do we get him to stop biting peoples feet when we walk into the house? its like he goes crazy!!! he is starting to get stronger jaws and its starting to bother. and no matter how often i clip his nails he still calws us when he jumps up on us. he has started breaking skin on my family, when he jumps. and if you have your back turned to him he claws repeatdly(sp?) i mean i am the target of his claws next to my mom.
HELP!!!
Thanks

I would take him to the vet to get him checked for his frequent urination - he could have an infection.
For the rest of it, you need to get a handle on training this puppy right now. You must know that this is an extremely high energy breed that needs a lot of exercise if you don't want him to turn destructive out of sheer boredom. Take him to classes for starters - that'll help him somewhat.
Teach him not jump!! Put your knee up into his chest when he jumps, consistently, he'll soon stop. At the same time, say "off". As for biting feet, tell him "no" - you need to start training this dog now or he'll end up totally out of control. By the way, is he neutered? Might want to do that if he's not.

Your dog could still be marking, or if you are sure he is not then take him to the vet. He chould have a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) or bladder infection That will cause a dog to urinate quite frequently.
For the other issues you should hire a trainer to come to your home and address your problems there. Your dog sounds like he's in desparate need for training and so do you and your family!
You all could benefit greatly from training and with your case I'd suggest one-on-one training as opposed to group classes so that you can receive specific and individualized attention.

YOUR DOG IS SHOWING YOU HE IS THE DOMINANT ALPHA PACK LEADER.
This is dangerous especially as he is going to get bigger and stronger. You must now show him Boundries and Limitations. You must show him you are the Alpha in the pack. Firstly, You should stop him from jumping up at you. You should not play tug of war games with this dog AT ALL. You should ensure when you take dog for a walk that he comes to you when putting on harness/lead. You should walk out of the door first not him. You should make him sit and wait for his food then put down his dish and make him wait for 20 seconds before being allowed to eat. You should ensure you make all the decisions and not the dog.

My dog can get a little to aggressive at times so me and my husband turned to the water bottle method. Every time he is doing something that is bad squirt him with a water bottle. Don't squirt him to roughly, just give him a nice squirt and it will scare him off. Every time our dog sees or hears us grab the water bottle she stops what she is doing because she knows that she is about to get squirt and she hates it.

Your puppy's behaviour is perfectly normal considering that a) he's in a teenage stage and will act like any other teenageer. and b) he's dominate and has no respect for you.
Read Caesar Milan's book, "Caesar's Way", it's the easiest way to figure out how to be your dogs leader.
Also, it's time to have him fixed.
