Teaching bite inhibition is important. With patience and consistency, your puppy will eventually learn.

I also agree with posters above that general training and a structured daily schedule help with behavioral problems.
I agree...and please do not hold him down. That only brings the fight out of a pup. Think about how you would react if someone confined you. You need to be patient with him...he is a baby that is learning.

In addition to the YT forum.....I recommend reading "The Loved Dog" by Tamar Geller:
