|  HI and WELCOME to YT!!! IMO the best way to teach pups not to bite is to act as if you are their mom/siblings! When he bites-YELP loud and clear to let him know that he is being too rough if this is'nt enough a short, sharp grab and shake of the scruff usually does it. (This is how his mother would tell him off, you don't want to hurt him just let him know he has misbehaved) I've never had an ongoing bite problem with any puppy using this technique! Good luck

|  Welcome to YT  can't wait to see some pics of Tobi I agree with the advice given by other members regarding the biting - a firm 'NO' and removing the fingers/shoe/sock and replacing it with something he is allowed to chew. Good luck! xxx

| Thanks everyone for your advice. I actually tried the no-no technique and gave him his toy to bite....and it worked! (last night anyway...lol) First, he looked at me and turned his head like he understood what I was saying and ran off playing with his toy. It took a couple no-no's before he actually thought to himself "umm maybe she's serious" LOL! Again thanks everyone
