Rhett went through a period where he earned the nickname "Attila" due to the biting. We did what was advised above. Redirection (giving him something it was ok to chew on) and removal; when he bit, I walked away. He quickly learned that biting left him alone and he much preferred to be with me.
Hitting or biting leads to fear and more aggression. IMO, it's also admitting that you aren't smart enough to control yourself, let alone train your dog.
