He is probably seeking your attention and testing the hierarchy. Ignore him and show him that he only gets attention when is is quiet. If he barks, turn away and go, even if at the start he keeps barking. Return once he is quiet and give him a treat. As soon as he barks, turn away and ignore him.
You also need to show him where his place is, does he have his own bed? Don't feed him off the table and pretend you eat from his bowl before feeding him, that shows him that you are the alpha animal and not him.
Is he play-biting or is he aggressive? If he is play-biting, then shreek loudely and say loud "no!" or "ah-ah!" and ignore him. He will learn that he only gets his reward when he behaves.
It is not cruel, but makes the dog feel more secure once he knows his status in the house.

This lady is just brilliant at helping people with just your sort of problem pup.
The cheapest place to buy the books is off Amazon.
I have a 7 year old Labrador who, at one stage, was sho badly behaved that I nearly sent him back to the breeder. Now, thanks to Jan Fennell, I don't know what I would do without him!
Good luck.

When you say 'bitting' I am assuming that you mean 'biting'. It would help if you could say when it bites and barks. Is it being left alone. Is the biting in play or aggression.

Any person who has a dog and has trouble with any aspect of the animal should go to training classes. It is amazing how much you can get from them, quiet apart from the social aspect.

before he/she goes to bite too hard say ouch in a stern voice and each time they go to bit they learn this is not accepted and is hurting you befor they bite too hard. both my lab and other dog both learnt not to bite and stop straight away have plenty of toys to distract them. take your dog to puppy school to help it learn the right way. good luck.
i had a lot of ups and downs just persevere with him/her i did i have a lovely friendly dog who i am proud of know.

scold your dog for biting and barking and reward him when he stops. pretty soon, he should get it that: Barking+Biting=NO and he'll get NO BARKING+NO BITING=Yes. good luck!

solution for
barking: pamper ur dog... talk to him.. treat him like he is imp part f ur life.. kisss him as much as possible as u do t ur bf..!!
biting: u need t b assertive.. scold him at times.. n show he is doin somethin wrong.. n dont pamper him for sometime if u find him biting.... same goes right wid ur bf ;) when he does dat..!!
