He's still pretty young, 9 weeks, but no matter what I do he still jumps up. I tried giving him a treat when he gets off the table, I've tried telling him "Off!" and I've tried spritzing him with water and I've thought about using the leash method when you put them on a leash and pull them down when they're on something...but nothing works! Help!

OK here's what you do. Get some of that plastic stuff for protecting carpets that has spikes on one side. Spread it on your table spike side up. He'll learn really fast and it will not damage him. I used it for my cats on the kitchen counter. You can remove the plastic after a short time.

Get a can and put coins in it, then tape it shut. When he jumps on the table, shake the can near him to scare him. You can also rattle newspaper near him, as this scares some dogs. Don't give him a treat, cause then he'll get on the table so he can get a treat from you.

Try putting bubble wrap on the table. When he jumps up he will hear the "pop" noise and get scared. That often works. If that doesn't work keep doing what your doing and be consistent. He's young with repetition he will learn.

Try putting a piece of cloth on it. Then when he tries to jump up, the cloth will scoot, and he'll lose his balance. Leave it on for a while until he gets the idea, then take it off once he stops trying it.

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tr.im/CQgEF
If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.
It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

You should correct him immediately when he jumps on it. Then praise him when he has all four paws back on the ground. A good practice is to give him a command and praise him exuberantly when he does it. For example, "NO! Spot, Sit! Good boy! What a good boy!"
Try to anticipate him jumping. Look for his hindquarters beginning to crouch down, and correct him when you see him about to jump.
