The way we did it with our Dobermann puppy (who is nearly 4 months), was by every time he bit or mouthed us (which was a lot! got a bleeding nose once from him), we just made a high pitched yelping sound and then walked away and ignored him. Now at nearly 4 months old, he doesn't even think to bite, mouth or pull at our clothes, because he knows he isn't going to get any attention from it, which is what he wants. So now he saves his biting for playing with the other dogs!

Another thing I did when my Boston was a nippy puppy was replace what she was biting with a toy. When she'd start to bite, I'd say "where's your toy!!!" in a really excited tone. Then I'd put a toy in her mouth. Surprisingly, she began to get her toy instead of bite on me.

I also taught her to fetch her toy so that she had something else to do rather than bite me. Eventually, when she got rambunctious, she'd bring over her toy and drop it in my lap.

Aww, that is so cute

Just wanted to say, the yelping method has worked with my grandparents white standard who is 25", he was about 14 months old, and he started on me, and I did the yelping etc. and he stopped it after a couple of tries
