Resolved Question

How do you get a puppy to stop biting you all the time?

I have tried the firm NO...the penny shaker method...clapping....bitter barriers... and clapping and nothing seems to help.

I'll train him for you. It involves things you have to see, certain things do in quick succession, involving discouraging the chomp on your arm and at the same time rewarding him for being nice to you. The closer you do the both motions, the faster he'll get it. If I had a dog I was training (such as my own a while back) I would send you a video...but the idea is you (1) FIRMLY (but peacefully) discourage the chomp, while (2) you stroke his non-biting face the second he lets go of your arm.
How to discourage? Well, I would tap under his jaw FIRMLY and quickly till he lets go.

If it's a puppy it probably teething, try getting some numbing gel for his painful gums, and a bunch of chew toys.

A friend had a similar problem and tried many many things for months with no effect until finally trying a spray bottle with diluted vinegar in it, spraying the dog every time it bit them. It worked quickly and effectively and her dog very quickly stopped biting.

it depend on the age of the puppy, are they biting to show dominace or are they playing? first of all don't put your hand by their mouth and show them you are the pck leader, dogs are pack animals and people try to give their pets human emotions, Dog lick to show you they consider you the leader and they want attention and or food, when the dogs lick the pack leader on his return from hunting he vomits and allows his favorites to eat first. dogs bite to find out who the boss is and if you firmly state no the ignore the dog and isolate he will quickly understand he is not the favorite and dogs hate being isolated.

When they bite, take your thumb and grab their lower jaw, toward the front. It makes it so that they can't bite you. Then firmly say, "No!" until they get the point.

If you fish, or know anyone that fishes, it's similar to how they grab bass. It's called "lipping." Here's a picture of how to grab, if it's still unclear. I know it's a fish, but you can do the same with a puppy, haha!

I used to use citronella oil, because my dog hated the smell. In particular, citronella oil on shoes stopped the shoelace nibbles.

Give your puppy chewing bones that also clean his teeth.

Save your hands and good for his teeth.

Its a win win situation.

You both will be happy!
