No none of mine have had biting issues. Their mother corrects them on this. Since it was taken from the other, you now hve to act as the mother would.

Siblings would yelp and refruse to play, the mother would snap at them. Not biting, but scaring them and making them move away from her. A dominant dog never moves away. They make the pyounger dog move away.

If you move away from them they will learn that this is a way to control you.

So my advice is to make a snapping sound at them and use your fingers to nip at them. Do this until they no longer try to come near you. then stop and let them come to you nicely before giving affection.
