Welcome to YT!! I too had a biter, and I asked for help and had some great YT responses. Here is the link: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...ve-biting.html . Long story short, the ONLY thing that worked for me was consistent timeouts in his crate along with the words "NO bite". The timeouts were very short (1-2minutes) and have worked like a charm. He currently has no biting issues (even though he's teething like crazy). One other thing - when I tried the submissive restraint it only escalated him after he was released so I'm sure it frightened him rather than teach him not to bite. Best of luck to you and your new pup - keep us updated.
