My puppy won't stop biting. What else can I do to train him?

Question

How do I curb Deuce's biting? I have tried diverting his attention to other toys, saying "ouch" really loud and getting up, walking away and ignoring him. I have been doing that for quite a while consistently but he will not stop biting. Is there anything else I can do?

Instead of you walking away, "banish" him to another room whenever he bites. Don't use his crate, if he has one, for this. You can also spray a bitter agent, such as Bitter Apple or Phooey, on your hands, just remember to wash well before you eat or touch your face. Be patient, firm and consistent in your training. He's still young and has a way to go in learning good behaviors.
