Dog Adolescence or something else?

My goldendoodle dog is 12 months old, and the last few weeks have been absolute chaos with him. He is jumping and biting/nipping and is not listening to commands. It’s really scary for most everybody around him and especially for my older age parents. He’s in training once a week and to be honest, I’m not sure that anything is going to work with him. This is the third round of training that he’s been in and I do my absolute best to reinforce everything at home. It’s definitely not a perfect system, but I really don’t know what else to do. I take him for walks several times a day. I play with him. This includes puzzles, fetch (although he doesn’t ever really bring the thing back), tug, and I use his treats for different types of fun activities where he learns different things. He’s well fed and gets pretty good rest throughout the day. It never seems like it’s enough of anything. Is this adolescence? How did you handle it?
