Wrigley is almost 4 months old and he loves to play bite me and my husband. I don't know what else to do to try to get him to stop, it is mostly just annoying but it can hurt even though he is just playing, especially because he sometimes goes for the face lol

We have both tried the yelping thing, or saying OUCH! to get him to stop, we have also firmly said NO and given him something he is allowed to chew on such as his rope or kong. I have even held him up said no looking into his eyes. Also if I am on the couch and he is up there with me and he bites I put him down every time he does it. He just doesn't seem to be catching on. He does this basically anytime we are playing with him and have physical contact with him.

Any suggestions on stopping the play biting? It is like he just gets so excited and that is what he does to play, but I don't want him to for obvious reasons.
