Thank you all for warm welcome. I am trying all of your suggestions. I make him rope toys and he loves them. Im trying to get everyone to use them when he starts biting. The thing is you can't even pet him without him biting. Hubby will be napping on couch and he will jump up and bite his nose. LOL.(hubby doesn't think it is to funny). I know hubby loves him very much but he also gets very mad at him when he does this. And the little terror doesn't seem to care. It's like there is no stopping him. How long should he be left in pen?

Congrats on your new baby. Have fun with him. When he bites tell him no bite and then give him a toy. Good luck and have fun, they grow fast.

I would put him in the pen until he calms down. Something like laying down or playing gently with one of his toys in his pen. Good luck and I hope that you will have one of these plans work. Another suggestion that I did when my little girl was doing this a couple years ago was when she would bite I would pull back my hand like I was hurt and say ouch and start to cry. They hate that. They never want to hurt you so they hate this. Put on the best acting performance for about 10 seconds and then walk away. I think that you will see a change in additude. Good luck again.
