My puppy school teacher said that to correct bad behavior by banning the puppy from it's pack, in other words, from you and your family. Make biting a felony. The first time, say "no bite" firmly, but don't yell, then turn your back and ignore your kid for 30 seconds. When you return, give your babe something appropriate to bite. The second time, repeat this. The third time baby bites, baby gets to go into the ex-pen, the crate, his room, whatever set-up you have so mom can have a time-out and baby can think about what he/she has done. I have been doing this with Gracie and it seems to be working. I have found it best if she is tethered or left on the sofa, someplace where she can't move away, and if I take any toys or interesting things nearby away immediately, so that she has nothing else to do during that 30 seconds. I have only been at this about 5 days and I have noticed a big reduction in the intensity and frequency of the biting. I too tried the yelp, I even went so far as to bite her back at one point, those things really did not help. Banning her from her pack did. Good luck!
