How to Discourage a Dog From Biting
This article describes best way to teach your canine to stop biting.
Steps
When your puppy or dog bites you, scream in agony! (Explosive technique... a big bangs work best with dogs.)
Look deeply offended/wounded/hurt/sad.
Immediately stop playing.
Try replacing whatever your dog is biting with a chew toy.
Wait at least five minutes before resuming the play activity.
If your pet cannot even stop for five minutes, put your dog in timeout. Back in the crate if you're crate training, or in the bathroom.
Remember to reward good behaviors with positive reinforcements, like petting, or verbal cues.
Make sure that you are consistent. If it is not ok to bite your fingers, it is not ok to bite your toes, now, or ever. Make sure that you let visitors know the behavior you are trying to instill in your dog.
Tips
As you progress with your dog's "no bite" training, she will gradually learn an important doggy skill known as "soft mouth". This is how you want your dog to put her mouth on things he brings you! (slippers, newspaper, bottle of beer!)
With a stubborn breed (like a beagle), sometimes you must resort to negative reinforcement such as gripping the dog's muzzle and asserting, "NO BITE!" firmly.
With dogs, it's important to assert dominance. Sometimes this requires that you turn a dog over on its side with its head against the floor. This will sometimes calm dogs down and reassert your position.
Warnings
Do not spray anything into your dog's eyes.
Do not hit your dog! She will grow fearful of you and over time you will push her "spooky factor" to a level where she may lash out and hurt you or someone else!
Hitting your dog when they do something bad might give them the impression that the only way to get someone to do something is with force, and you don't want that!

Get a good spray bottle or water gun and as you walk aim and shoot the dog right in the face and tell him no. Another things is get a coffee can and fill it with some rocks or coins so it makes a loud noise and when you walk and he bites shake the can to scare him. Hitting the dog will only make him afraid, not well behaved. Good Luck

A few well placed kicks should do the job quite nicely I think.
