My Lexy is 3 now. She comes and gets my finger when she wants something. She grabs a finger when I've been gone awhile. She's quite a jumper and when I come in she hits the recliner arm and starts chewing on my finger. But never hard. Hers is just an attention thing. However, we have a neighbor who is afraid of dogs and doesn't appreciate being "bitten." The command No Bite
works well.
We also have a Pet Trainer (available on the web for about $17).

It emits a high pitched sound that hurts her ears. For any command that she is not wanting to obey, I grab it. One hit usually stops the behavior immediately. Incidentally, it works on the neighbors' dogs too. When they stick around the fence too long and keep her yapping, I grab it and zap them. They turn tail and run for home.
