I'm also worried because I have little cousins who are always over at my house and Bentley doesn't like them.. But they don't understand that so when they try to play with Bentley, he tries to bite their face. My cousins are about 3, 4, & 5. It really scares me because I don't want Bentley hurting anyone.
Also his bites has become very hard.
I've tried taking my fingers away and replacing it with a toy, but that didn't work. He's such a sweet pup but I don't want him to be aggressive and hurting other people. So can anyone give me any advice or pointers I can use.
Thank you <3

oh dear! you need to nip this in the butt ASAP! If he is doing that, you need to simply IGNORE it! If he is sitting down next do you on the couch and he does that, STAND up, turn your back to him, or simply walk away. If you don't take care of this now, it can be an ongoing issue, and he may become very aggressive, which you dont want. If he bite your hand, sometimes, you can yelp like another puppy, or you can even, and i know this sounds harsh, but you can push his tongue back in his throat, to make him stop, or sometimes, you can grab on top of his muzzle, and push his lips up against his teeth so he is biting down on his own gums, and that may prevent him from doing so. I would really recommend ignoring all bad behavior, give him a toy, and really praise him with when he is a good boy! Good luck to you!
