8 month old puppy?

2 Questions..First my puppy has pretty much lost all her baby teeth now there is one next to her large fang tooth and it still hasnt come out and it doesnt seem like its going to come out anytime soo now I heard that we would have to get it pulled if it didnt fall out at some point and time is that true? And how long should we wait to do it? Second our puppy is well bahaved she comes when called and never barks unless something spookes her and all that stuff BUT BUT BUT when she is around another dog she doesnt listen for crap she too excited and doesnt want to listen. She does this with new people too its like her minds moving too fast because shes soo excited and she cant stop. My husband and I have tried a few different things but we dont know how to break her of it. We have tried to calm her before people come and all that but its no use is there a trick to breaking a puppy of this?
Answers:
socializing is tricky... our pup was really good, then one day she excited peed on the neighbors kids.!! she only did it 3 times but that was enough. everyone knows i am training her. so even when grandma comes over, or kids come home. they have to wait at the door, we will stand and talk for a minute, completely ignoring the dogs crazyness... until she calms down and will sit and stay on command... then we open door. my mother will continue to ignore the antics that start all over again. go sit on couch. again when the dog calms down and sits, she will pet her and talk to her...our pup loooooves my mom. she will do anything for her affection...even shut up..lol. OUTSIDE%26lt;%26lt;%26lt; the opposite. instead of others ignoring the dog, we have to get the dog to ignore others. she is about 50/50 on this. she must sit before anyone can pet her. as safety issue we have small kids at home. other dogs within sniffing zone are more diffi cult... we have to pull her past sometimes, and just keep going....
First off find a command or a sound that get the puppies attention...then use it when your need to...or go to the pet store and buy a clicker ...it makes a sound that get there attention and its not much money . good luck...
SOUNDS LIKE MOST KIDS THESE DAYS.
