The best thing you can do to stop a puppy from biting is to remove attention as soon as the puppy starts to bite. So, as soon as the puppy starts to get excited and exhibit biting behavior you should walk away and ignore him until he is calm again. Your puppy will soon learn that he does not get any attention when he bites and this will be a powerful learning tool for him. You can also provide him with appropriate toys to bite and chew like a Kong stuffed with treats. If he continues to bite I'd recommend finding a trainer or veterinary behaviorist to work with you on proper training techniques.
