I hate to admit this, as I really stress positive training, but I just stumbled on this and it is working for me. I got a 7 month old Italian Greyhound foster a week ago Wed. She bounces off the walls too, and gets totally wound up. She is also mouthy, she likes to try to tooth wrestle with my hand when I am holding her on my lap. Generally, her bite inihibition is good, but one day she bit too hard, and I blew on her, kind of hard. It worked! Since then, every time she started biting my hand, I gave her a good puff. It reminds her not to bite and she has gotten much better about not biting my hand.
