If you have a puppy that bites, and you are absolutely clueless how to make him stop biting, you can get some tips from here:
First of all, don't punish him physically. Hitting him, or causing him pain will only aggravate him, and it can result in more biting. You can try the yelp option. Whenever your puppy bites you, you can give out a loud yelp, like that of another puppy. This will startle him, and teach him not to bite.
I have a dog myself, and he used to bite at first. He bit a lot, but it was all playful biting. If it is the case with your puppy, what you can do is to just ignore him. Puppies love playing, and if you ignore them, they will learn that biting will ruin their play.
Also, make sure that you don't play any such games with your puppy where you have to take stuff out of his mouth, like tug of war. These games just encourage the puppy to bite more.
You need to calm down your puppy before you begin playing, as they can become hyper during the play and start biting. If your puppy gets hyper during the play, stop playing and ignore him. Let him bark or follow you. If you ignore him for a few minutes, he will calm down, and then you can resume playing again.
Another option is applying something bitter on your hands or gloves. You can use bitter apple. But this is not a very successful method. Your hands cannot be coated with bitter apple all the time, and if you use gloves for this purpose, there are chances that the puppy will be scared of gloves, more than biting.
If you follow these instructions, your puppy will soon stop the act of biting.
