He IS still a baby so you can cut him a little slack.

What you can do is tell the people he's trying to tackle, I mean meet, that you are working on his manners and ask them not to pet or talk to him unless he's sitting (or laying down - whichever skill he's better at).

Me? I'm one of those BAAAAD people that encourage such behavior even with adult dogs.
