When puppy begins to bite, grab him, GENTLY BUT FIRMLY, by the scruff of the neck (the back), shake GENTLY and say "no bite" in a voice that sounds like a growl. When the puppy relaxes as you hold him, this is a sign of submission and you can then let him go and say "play nice".
This is the way momma disciplined your puppy when he was still with her and the litter. So it's a language he'll understand. Remember tho, you have to address it EACH AND EVERY TIME he bites and NEVER let a bite incident go unaddressed. Otherwise you may confuse your puppy as to what you expect of him.
Also remember that this does take time, patience and persistence. We combined this method with the "yelping" methond to address our Border Collie pups nipping (this breed is notorious for nipping as it's part of their herding instinct) and it worked very well for us.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aL2FC
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

I have a beagle too, and when she was a puppy biting was all she could think of. Just get as many chew toys as you can, and maybe a few dog bones. When he bites you, just ignore him for awhile. Always worked for me! Or, you could just grab a toy and maybe try to distract him, but the only thing that'll do is get his attention off biting you, so I wouldn't really encourage doing that. Just remember that your puppy is teething. They eventually get over this phase, but for now, biting is an addiction! Kinda like if you have chips and you eat them for awhile and ya...lol.

Hi There -
If you are bitten by your dog, react straight away by loudly saying "OW"! Try ignoring him for a few minutes after as well.
Hand feeding can also help learn what is appropriate and what is not -- if they bite you, yell "OW" and take away the food or treat until they learn to take small bites that don't include your fingers!
Hope this helps

Pop him on the nose with rolled up newspaper.. lightly .. (It won't hurt him) but he won't like it. And say No! Eventually. You will be able to hit your hand with the newspaper and say "no" and he will behave. But remember. treat him gently , let your voice be firm, but don't yell at him.

next time he bites you, bite him back, but make sure you put him in the dominance position when you do it.
