Oliver likes to bite and bite hard. All of our other puppies were more interested in tearing up the house, not so much about chewing on our hands and feet. This one plays with his toys but prefers human flesh, lol. We've tried all the things we did with our other dogs but any kind of discipline makes Oliver growl and bite down harder. I'm at a loss of what to try with him. All suggestions are welcome! Thanks,
Darcy, Camy and Oliver the biter.
I agree
but when we went to obedience calss we were told to yelp like a puppy and stop playing.

I don't know your specific situation...
but when my puppy (she's almost 5 months old) bites my feet or uses her mouth too much when she's playing, I tell her "no bite" and take her away from my feet, or whatever she's biting. If she doesn't stop after that, I will stop the play time or take her back into the house. She still tries to bite my feet while I'm walking sometimes, but if I tell her "no" she will stop after the first time.
I also don't let her use her mouth too much when playing with other people and I don't let her play too aggressively with toys, when people are playing with her.
