Hi. well my Dustie..now near;ly 6 months old has done this nipping of fingers and toes since 8 weeks old..At first it drove me mad...so hard to have cuddle time with a pup that just wants to bite...but he seems to have got the message as to who is the Boss...and its not him!!! He still trys it on..especially when playing...he tends to forget that he is playing with his toys and turns his sudden attention on my fingers or toes..to which I act very annoyed and speak sternly..saying No..and walk away....He does get very hyper in play so I have adjusted his playing times..making them shorter ..and when I see him getting really uptight we stop play.!
His favourite passtime at the moment is chasing me around when I am trying to clean up..he just loves to try to get hols of the Duster etc. or brush..so I am now trying to train him that this is no allowed either...
It never ends does it....but I am sure it will get better for you..as it is for me..just keep being consistant ..and never let the pup get away with anything now that you won't want it to do in the future when it is older.
