Also remember she's still a puppy. Still need to make things fun for her and be careful with the punishments.

I agree totally. The problem is that the dog doesn't know that sit means sit and stay seated until I release you. Back to basics. Reteach sit and do it with reinforce it with distractions. Have kids or other animals playing. Toss some bumpers and don't let him get them. There are numerous ways to achieve this. When throwing bumpers keep thge animal on tight lead...let the dogs know what you expect and what the right way to act is as tricking him with a loose lead. Good luck.
