Pet's info: Dog | Labradoodle | Male | neutered | 3 months and 1 day old | 83 lbs
My dog was a biter when we first got him at 8 weeks. Since, I’ve taught him not to do that and would put him outside by himself or in his crate while also saying the “no” que and it has worked. however, lately, he’s been occasionally play biting me. My grandma was walking around the house and he was walking by here and tried to bite her hand as well. He hasn’t done this since we got him at 8 weeks so what’s up? How should I counter this?

Continue with your training. Xavier is still very young and some backwards movement is training is not unusual. He is likely also starting to teeth and so this may make him want to bite more. Make sure to provide plenty of toys and you may cycle them out to keep it interesting. The main thing is to be consistent. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
