The advice you were reading in the books about saying OUCH is really a good bit of advice...BUT the ouch has to be more of a yelp..a loud one at that..when puppies are play fighting with each other they yelp when it goes too far and that is a sign for "stop that hurt" it should startle the puppy if its done right and he should stop..if he bites to the point of it hurting..yelp LOUD..Soleil still can get a bit rough from time to time and I yelp and she will imidiately stop and lick my instead as she dosent want to hurt her mommy...its a huge puppy thing and I suggest getting him lots of chewy toys to turn his attention to..good luck!!
