Rolled up newspaper can work wonders as well as a firm "NO!" when you swat him.

Eventually, he should get the message.

I probably won't be much help as I've never owned a dog. What I can tell you is that friday nights on the National Geographic channel are Dog Whisperer marathons.

Tschhht!!

What I was always told was to "scream" like a dog would if it was bit. I guess the idea is that, in a litter, that's how the puppy learns it's not OK. Also, if you're playing with it, if you get bit immediately stop playing and turn your back on the puppy.

That can work, but my 4 mo old puppy is teething right now, so she forgets.
