Amelia 7 and a half months

Amelia is getting bigger, and I believe she is getting quite poplar in this community. Most people here know who she is or recognize her from our walks. I walk her around the neighborhood, and at least one person will want to say hello to the puppy. It can be difficult to have a quiet and meditative walk most days. I expect curiosity about the puppy at the park, but on my steps out the door where I worry about the days the elderly want to chat and see the puppy. Amelia is very much still a puppy. She needs to learn not to jump on people. She still likes to zoom through the apartment and scratch on furniture that she shouldn't. She still likes to chew on my shoes and sometimes when I am walking in them. She still likes to nibble on my hand when I put her leash on. She likes to walk past the neighbor with her walker and small black dog. There are many small dogs in this neighborhood, and many of the dogs like to bark at Amelia. Amelia just likes to sit and watch these barking dogs. There is an older man who lives a few doors down from the walker lady. He will always have a cracker for Amelia, but she keeps jumping up to say hello. Maybe she is anxious for a treat. He always approaches softly as if he doesn't want to startle the puppy, but it startles me. Another lady in the neighborhood likes to stop and pet Amelia. She often wears a baseball cap and talks a lot. I just smile and listen. Sometimes it is difficult to train the puppy consistently with the elders. The elderly will come over to pet Amelia, and most of the time she will try to jump up towards the people. Probably to say hello and lick their faces, but the elderly still try to make more attempts to have the puppy sit and petted. When she keeps trying to jump up, I will tell the puppy that's it and turn her away. I think I will need some training as well when it comes to handling the puppy with the elderly nearby. There is also another lady in the neighborhood that likes to greet the puppy. She likes to give the puppy banana slices, and I have come to call her the banana lady. She is a nice person, and the puppy will want to greet her when we play fetch in the backyard. Sometimes I don't mind, but other times I would rather not follow the dog to the neighbor's house. When I don't feel well too early in the morning, or close to dinner time; I don't want the puppy running up to people's doors and barking hello. Living here at my mom's can be a little stressful, and sometimes when I am outside with the dog I just want peace and quiet. But, how do you tell that to the puppy and the elderly neighbors? Sometimes I get stressed with the puppy being a puppy and a stubborn puppy. After our walks she will stop and lay down in the street. The neighbors will laugh and think this is funny, but I am totally embarrassed and frustrated. What is there to do? I just shrug my shoulders and try to be patient with the puppy to get her to the side of the road and on the grass. I am thankful for these times at night when the puppy is sleeping. She sleeps on the tile floor, but sometimes during the night she will come sleep in the bedroom. It is time for me to nap as well.
