I agree with this post. I have seen C. Millan do this on his show.
Also, I read and tried this method. (You could use this if not comfortable with the other.)
Put a short light leash on the pup that drags a little on the floor. Each time the dog bites/jumps on your ankles, pull him back with the leash and say "no". The book stated that using your hands to correct the pup only reinforced "playing" aspect to pup. That is why the book suggested the use of the leash.
