Dogs that bark too much, jump on people and things uninvited, or get nippy and mouthy are often labeled as naughty, stubborn, and untrainable...
We tend to focus on how the dog's behavior affects US and so we fail to consider the dog's inner emotional state that drives those actions.
Unless we consider the source, the feeling behind the action, there's no amount of "dog training" that can positively impact a dog's behavior.
