If a dog is way too excitable, in my opinion, it is either not being physically and mentally stimulated or it does not have enough respect for the handler.

It's just the terms of phrase i suppose isn't it.
Decent basic commands are the foundation of everything IMO and you have to reinforce them again and again, every day with a puppy and by doing that you are showing Leadership
I often find if Oscar is being a pain in the neck i can get him in a sit which is his most solid command, then i can do something with him again.
I agree about discipline too
