First stop and think about how a mama dog disciplines her pups. She bites them while growling.
You can go about this is two ways. One, is to bite him on the flew when he bites you. Or by using two fingers come down on the top of his muzzle. All puppies play in this manner and he doesn't know that he is hurting you. When he bites let out a little squeal or scream, that will stop him for a moment.
Puppies are tough little critters and can take a lot more pain than we can. Puppies play using their teeth, but it can be stopped.
When you bite him make sure it is hard enough to make him cry. Don't worry that you will hurt him his pain tolerance is a lot higher than ours. And when you pop him on the muzzle use enough force that he will either cry out or sneeze. This is not cruel or unusual it is training the pup in a manor that is custom to puppy training.

He's just a puppy. This is what puppies do. Its called the teething stage, where they want to chew on just about anything. As they get older, the grow out of it. Don't spank him though. He'll remember that, and could get scared of you. Give him a firm "no!" and he will soon realize what he is doing is wrong. Maybe give him some bones to preoucupy himself.
You can put some germ-killing spray stuff. After that put neosporin on it. Its gonna hurt when the dog bites you but those teeth will fall out and grow into bigger, more blunt teeth.

don't hit your dog. when he bites say no in a firm voice. don't be angry or yell. scruff him by taking the extra fur between his shoulders and flip him on his back. hold him there until he stops fighting you. then just let him up. don't get angry and hit, he's a puppy and doesn't know it's wrong until you tell him so. it's going to take time, take a deep breath, he's a pup. most of all be consistant and when he's old enough continue the training in a obedience class, this will help you bond with your dog and teach him confidence and to respect you. good luck.
don't ever use the crate as punishment, it is designed to give the dog a safe place they want to go. if you put them in there because they're in trouble, you're losing the whole point of the crate.

First of all dont "spank" your puppy. That will only make your problems worse. Hitting an animal is Never the way to get them to behave.
Puppies are playful, and they get a little overexcited so they will nip occasionally. The best way to stop this is whenever your puppy bites you while playing, sternly tell him "no" and stop playing with him immediately. This will be a sign to him that he has done something wrong.
If you have a crate, you can also crate your puppy after doing the above, to give more reinforcement that biting is not acceptable. Kind if like giving him a "time out" for a few minutes.
Hope this helps.

no spanking or cream just every time he bites put a bone those ones made from rawhide in his mouth and he will learn he must be biting that not you spanking him will not change anything cause he thinks he is making fun for you he doesnt think he is hurting you when you give him the bone get up and put a firm voice on and tell him no give him the bone and move away for a while let him understand its wrong not to bite but to bite so hard.. it will take time but try it.. also remember if its a puppy he will still be teething the more you keep his mouth occuoied the less he will bite!!!

Well just push them over a little but there's really no way to make them stop. It's just what puppy's do.

Sorry, but this is just a stage all dogs go through. You can't really do anything about it. When the dog gets older he should eventually grow out of it. If he doesn't, then he should get reprimanded.

Puppies will do this. Just say no and gently push the puppy to the floor and hold it there a bit. This will teach the puppy you are the pack leader and it will help you greatly as the puppy becomes an adult. Dogs are pack animals if they do not sense a pack leader they will become the leader and cause you problems. Good luck!

You probably brought this on yourself by letting him start off chewing on you instead of bones and such. The best way is to give a flick on the nose whenever he does it and then replace your hand with a chew toy or bone. Puppies need to chew on stuff, that's what they do.
