Buy your puppy a chew toy - chances are he's teething and his teeth hurt, so to try and ease the pain he's trying to bite stuff. Be glad, actually, that he's not ripping up your furniture or your appliances.
A hard chew toy is best, one that they can really gnaw on that will last quite a while. If your puppy continues to bite you, there are a couple things you can do (and in any combination):
- Hit him/her on the head, firmly but not too hard
- Shout "No" or "Wrong" sharply. Never yell your dog's name as a punishment, because your dog may begin to associate his/her name to be a bad thing.
- Lock them up or leash them to something that doesn't move, and leave them alone for about five minutes. Come back to them after and continue to play, but as soon as he/she bites again do the same thing.
Hope this helps!

You need to establish what is play time, and what isn't. Remember, dogs don't have hands so their mouths are the only way they have to "feel" the world around them. Puppies have the curiosity of a toddler, who also put everything in their mouths. By reprimanding them physically too often they can become introverted. Encourage playtime using a pull toy or an old towel. When playtime is over, put the toy out of reach.
As puppies age, they respond to domination as well. Try rolling the dog over on it's back and hold it's head so you are looking eye to eye. A simple staring contest with establish who is boss and training will become much easier.

Get another dog and it will solve all your problems. We have a puppy who play bites all the time, it is normal for puppies to do this. She would bite our feet as we walked, bite our fingers, tear holes in our socks, bite our nose, etc. We just got another puppy and problem solved! They have the best time tackling each other, its so funny and cute! and no more biting my toes!

no, he won't listen because he is a puppy. it is this same reason why you should not have children... they will bite you often and then not listen too. trust me. i have had puppies and children. they are one and the same. when my dog was a puppy, we gave her lots of doggy chew toys so she knew that was OK to bite, but not the furniture, shoes, and small children laying around. It worked. She never ruined anything but we spent a fortune in real bones, nylabones, pigs ears and rawhide.

there's really not much more you can do other than what you already are.you must be patient, it's a puppy, and it's teethingso he wants to bite to relieve the pain of cutting teeth.he will eventually outgrow this stage and stop biteing.don't strike the dog however, it may make the dog overly aggressive or overly timid, not to mention the legal and moral ramifications it might cause.

i read in a book (which I can't remember the name of) but it worked for me, to pull away and say ouch that hurts in a whiny voice and don't play anymore. Kind of like you would do a child. Eventually they will stop. Hitting them only makes it worst.

The only reason you notice it is because their little teeth are very sharp. Make him love you. He will at least stop breaking the skin. Seriously, get him a little chew toy. LOL!

Whenever he bites, YIP loudly.
The YIP tells him that he's hurting you. He doesn't want to hurt you, he's just wanting to play.
Puppies play rough. When they're playing with each other, one will yip whenever the other gets too rough. The other will immediately slack off. It's an instinctual thing.

PUPPYS BITE BECAUSE THERE TEETH ARE COMING IN JUST LIKE US HUMANS JUST BUY SOME DENTAL BONES OR A NICE CHEW TOY
YOU CANT MAKE A PUPPY STOP BITEING THEY WILL START TO STOP WHEN THEY GET OLDER SO IT WILL BE EASIER TO HANDLE
