Scare tactic
When your puppy is biting you. let out a yelp and act is if you are hurt. Your puppy should be startled and understand that what he did was bad. Immediately after put a toy in his mouth to redirect him. Do this every-time he bites.
2. Isolation
When your puppy bites you, ignore him for 15-20 mins. Go to a different room and don't talk to him. This should help deliver the message that you are hurt by what your puppy did and should help eliminate biting.
3. No
Tell your dog firmly, "No". Don't scream at him or else he will think it's a game and don't be sweet or else he won't fear you. Be firm and act confident.
4. Redirection
If you don't feel like isolating your puppy is working and he is not listening to you, just play with him. Avoid rough behaviors such as tug of war or games of tag where your puppy jumps on you. This promotes rowdy behavior. Instead sit and play with your dog and every-time he bites stuff a toy in his mouth.
