To introduce an element of "natural discipline", grasp the recalcitrant pup with one hand, place your other hand over the top of his muzzle, gently pressing his muzzle towards his chest as you say, in a low, growly tone of voice, "No BITE". If they begin to throw a tantrum and thrash around trying to bite, just hold the line until they "give in" and "say uncle" (quit resisting). You should not find it necessary to get aggressive with a young puppy. Simple restraint is usually enough to get the message across.

Two months is only eight weeks. This is a tiny baby! Always have a toy to redirect the pup.
Please don't just put it outside. It's too young.
Here is a site on dog behavior with puppy tips:

Try these suggestions. Read them over and keep working at it. Now, while the dog is small, move him when he bites. Don't hit him or yell, just redirect, by saying, "Leave it" and giving a toy.

Be patient and consistent and you'll have a wonderful dog.

Keep a spray bottle and squirt him in the face when he does it. He will stop real soon.
Or you can have a pan and hit it with a wooden spoon and make a loud noise when he does it & soon will learn not to.
It is real simple, but you must be consistant. And firm.
Get control of this soon or you will be in for years of him jumping up on you.

it gets growth in the tooth. it might feel somthing like bite which is hard. this time you have to give food that is hard to bite. even we might be bite toys or something when we are babby, check with your parents. its nature. so dont worry about it.

I guess he just wants to play. Cats do that too sometimes, with the people they like.

Oh yea cats do it too... anyways... to stop him... use a spray bottle. and use water spray her head then hide it. so she doesnt see who sprayed her and get mad..
