Subject: My boxer named Dude

I rescued Dude from a shelter back in January. He was a little over a year old and very sweet natured. I have been around Boxers but Dude is the first one I have come to adopt. I live in an apartment but walk him several times a day although I work and he is crated for about 8 hours. Dude is a BIG boy now and I am having trouble controlling him on walks, in the apartment, etc. He likes to jump (and he's very good at it) but tends to lose focus then starts biting me (hard) when we are walking although I think he believes it is playful. I am afraid he will "play" with other residents and I do not want anyone hurt and don't want any residents complaining. Does anyone have some tips on how to correct him? I have rescued and worked with dogs all my life but he is extremely strong and I am not so strong. I work him constantly on obedience training which he will obey but I want to stop the bad behavior before it becomes a habit. Any advice from the Boxer lovers out there?
