Wosie is almost 4 months, and she nibbles on us constantly if we let her. We have to ALWAYS tell her while we are holding her, "no bite", and if she nips a bit hard, I hold her mouth shut and FIRMLY tell her "no bite" and I put her down and ignore her for at least 5 minutes (which is really hard on me, as I love her sooooo much!). She is beginning to understand, and is slowly getting to the point where I can hold her and she won't bite all the time, just sometimes, lol.
They are puppies, yours and mine, and they will bite to make their teeth happy. It's so hard for the people in their lives to be patient with it, but that's what we must be until we both come to an understanding about it! I offer her toy alternatives, and tell her "good girl" in my high congratulatory voice when she bites the toy, and "no bites" in my growly voice when she bites me. I just know eventually the light bulb over her head will come on! Or at least I am very very hopeful!!
Good luck! Persistance and consistency is the key, I think.
