My Charley did pretty much the same as Hunter at that age. He went through the worst brat stage. What I found worked best was stepping up the exercise (diubled it)and not letting him get me upset. What ever he did, I made like I didn't care, example: if he took clothes from the laundry basket to chew on, I'd take it out of him mouth, grab his leash and bring him back to the living room without saying a word. Its almost like they are trying to get a rise out of you and as soon as you get upset (and they can tell when you get upset) they've won.
The reason I had stepped up the exercise is because tired puppies don't do as much bad stuff to get attention
