I see this problem with puppies that were taken away from their Moms too soon
They don't learn the right socialization skills as little pups and mouth a lot
But some little guys just like to play fight
You're lucky that he is a young one and it's pretty easy to correct IF you follow the right steps to do it
You have to be very vigilant and do the same thing every time it happens and make everyone who comes in contact with the puppy do the same thing
It's very easy to get involved and play fight with these guys when they are very little and don't hurt much but it's very different when they get older and cause pain
when he bites and hurts you need to make a loud noise
OUCH... NO .... UH!!!!
whatever you want loud enough to stop him in his tracks
Hands feet or whatever he is biting get pulled out of reach and you leave him there and ignore him
the ignoring has to be long enough that he is unconmfortable
30 secs ain't gonna cut it
Puppies live for attention and when they don't get it they will rapidly make the connection
