It will be hard to untrain this behavior as you dog is already 2 yrs old and been getting away with it for some time, but it can be done.
When your dog bites during play, grab him gently by the scruff of his neck, shake gently and tell him "No Bite" in a stern, almost growl sounding voice. Hold your pups scruff until he relaxes. The relaxing is a sign of being submissive. You have to do this each and every time your dog bites. Never let it slide, even once, or you will confuse your dog. Mother dogs discipline thier puppies in the very same way and you are doing something your dog will understand. When your dog plays without the biting, be sure to praise well for the good behavior.
Be sure to offer your dog other things during play with him that he is allowed to bite. Never use your hands as a type of toy either.
Good Luck!

I have a 14 week old pit bull that nips only me. No one else in the family. The best thing is to enroll in training classes. You can train or untrain a dog at any age. You have to be very consistent with the dog.
You will want to research all the trainers in your area before committing to one. Each has different training methods and some may not be suitable for your breed. The first thing I did was to ask the trainer how they felt about my dog's breed. Some trainers will only work with smaller dogs while others love all breeds. Ask tons of questions of your possible future trainer.

Do not listen to anyone who tells you to slap the dog also the dog can not live with a muzzle on its face 24.7
Get the dog into obedience classes right away, let a pro help you to sort your dog out. The will understand the age, breed etc. They can help you to have a wonderful companion. My dog of 13 is wonderful but it took work, dedication and advice of the pros. I am so glad I did it, I love her dearly. Now the old girl is elderly and oh so loving, we have shared a lot of wonderful years together.
Oh by the way my dog is a welsh terrier. She has never killed anything. As a matter of fact she loved the two ferrets I use to have, they were like pups to her, she played with them, loved them and helped me to find them when they got lost in the house. Not a killer. These breeds are very, very intelligent and prone to trying to be alpha. The right training will put you in the alpha seat with out abuse and heart ache. Please, please it's sooooo worth the effort.

neuter him and take him for Obedience training...
Terriers were bred to bite/kill... huskies are intelligent and moody.. both in combination isnt a good mix
You need to have him properly schooled and be aware of how to communicate well with him, Obedience lessons are MORE than "sit and stay" they are socialization
otherwise an agressive dog of this breeding should be euthanized - sorry

It's hard to answer this question since I don't know if by biting you mean actual biting or nipping. Your best bet is to find a professional behaviorist to evaluate the situation.

If it is an aggressive bite, I would muzzle him. If it is a playful bite, you could stop playing with him every time he bites. I know its hard, but you have to stand your ground with those breeds.

I don't allow none of my dogs to have contact to my skin with their teeth.As puppies when they went through the biting stage I use to yell ouch in a high voice then give them a chew toy.Considering your dog is a adult every time he puts his teeth on you I would say no in a very deep growly voice and be consistant with this.He should catch on .Just keep on doing it.

A Pit Bull, I hear you. I have ones that dis the same thing.
Discipline him/her, its that best way it will stop. Scowl at him/her every time it happens.
And don't listen to people that tell you Pit Bulls are aggressive, it all depends on how you treat them.

You must be very surprised to have a pit bull who bites.

Smack him in the nose (lightly) and tell him "no, no, bad". Since he is only 2 he should be able to be trained still. Good Luck!
