Well because he did not stay with his mom long enough he did not learn about biting from her. Hitting him or taping him on the nose is no way to teach him not to because the only way they have to defend themselves is there mouth. Holding them down does not work either it was brought up to teach them who is alpha dog and that has been debunked and does not work. When Callie nipped as a puppy I would say no and squirt her with a water bottle, it was the only thing that worked. You can also try saying no and then putting the pup down and leaving him alone in his area when he nips.
