Soooo much biting....
Fighting the same war here, same as puppies before. I grab the muzzle from over the top, roll their lips into their own sharp teeth and say NO! at the same time. If they yelp all the better. Gentle does not work with the bold ones.
You can see in my video posts I productively embrace Positive Re-enforcement training methods in a big way at this young puppy stage of training.
At the risk of taking some online heat, I will also share that I make use of a riding crop with a wide flat plastic popper on the end. (The end is key as the wide tips will not injury a puppy whereas the long nylon strand models will.)
This puppy will jump up on anything when it is boiling over with energy in the house, she chews on floor mats while 4 different chew toys are in reach ...
A good swift swat with that riding crop and a NO! happens often at the moment.
The term Teething Terrorist has been heard in our household.

Porter. For hand biting, I make it as unpleasant for the pup as it is for me. I grab whatever I can, tongue, lips and give 'em a good pinch.
