Young dogs love to play and show their passionate feelings biting hands - and sometimes they bite too hard. Either just grab him and hold onto his little muzzle longer than he would like(you'll have to grab him up first usually as they are too fast to just reach out and grab hold of a puppy muzzle) or immediately stand up and walk away - end of all fun play the moment the hard biting starts. Once the dog learns - and this takes a while when they are just puppies - that they get grabbed up and their muzzle held or all the fun play stops once the hard biting happens - then they learn that hard-biting is not good and begin to try to remember to soften their bites or avoid play-biting altogether. But being young dogs, they do forget many times over and bite hard and it's up to the owner/guardian to always apply the same gentle, consistent teaching discipline each time he bites hard in order to get across the message that hard biting is not tolerated.
