This is something that every single person in my training class is having a hard time with. Our trainer says to ignore them and take the body parts they are biting (hands, face, toes) out of their reach. If they keep trying to bite then give them a little time alone in a puppy safe room.
My problem is that mine will bite me when I'm trick training him. He goes nuts over the treats and will bite my hand as I am giving him signals (he also bites/steals his clicker!) If I don't stop the session right then (because I am stubborn and want to teach him the trick) then he gets frustrated and starts focusing more on trying to grab the treats than learning the trick.
Ignoring him has been pretty effective though... he hates being ignored, and avoids doing things that make me ignore him!
