TJ was also a hand chewer. I tried all of the usual things. "No", didn't work. Hand lotion? He loves the taste of it. Yelping and stopping the play finally worked. I also bought puppy teething rings and those were great for helping him cut teeth.

The bitter apple and hairspray worked for saving my plants.. he didn't like the taste of those at all. (Never thought of using them on my hands). He finally got it... and stopped except for an occasional accidental nip.. but I found that I could not even allow him to lightly mouth my hand.. because then the biting would start getting harder again. He is 10 mo old now and we no longer have that problem.. so hang in there.. it does get better.
