I watched a dog training video a few weeks ago that said: When they play bit say "OUCH!", stand up, and turn your back on them for 10 seconds. Don't look at them, fold your arms, and stand totally still. They'll wonder what's up. Then after the 10 seconds, turn back around again to play, smile and be really happy. Repeat, until your puppy gets it, that the fun will STOP if any teeth touch human skin. They suggested that if your puppy gets out of control and is just playing way too rough, put him/her in their crate for a little time out. I tried it with Zoe and she doesn't play bite anymore.... after just one day of doing this technique. GOOD LUCK!
