YEP Chewy has done this and once in a while still does...He is 8 months... I grab the back of his neck...sternly (Not mean or yelling but in a controlled voice ) I say no bite, and put my hand right in front of his mouth, if he tried to bite I put my hand toward his mouth to show him I am not afraid, and stare him down. He stops biting and then is very good for me... I think when you pull your hand away or show any kind of fear, they feel in charge and that's not good~! He is very sweet most of the time, but when getting his teeth brushed or nails clipped he will try to nip here and there. Be tough... It's getting better every day with Chewy~
