Good tip, but if your pup play growls this will get you no where (I have a frequent play growler)
What I recommend is when the pup bites, don't pull away, just in your deepest loudest stern voice say "OuCH!" it'll startle him enough to stop the biting then after the dog released slowly pull your hand away (so it doesn't seem like a toy) and replace with a toy, and praise ALOT! my boy plays tug, so when he chews on something right I"d play a gentle tug game. You can also work on leave it games too.
