Stop playing with the dog when he bites. Usually, I'll say "ouch!" so he knows to associate the word with being rough, and then I'll just stop playing and turn away. Once the dog is calm I'll go back to playing. They usually learn to knock if off in short order

When you post and then make a 2nd post, it will temporarily glitch as a double post. Then you must refresh the page for it to go away... As opposed to deleting your first post which then deletes it out of the whole thing...........

You also might be playing the wrong kinds of games with the dog...

If he becomes so mouthy that when you ignore him his mouthiness is breaking skin or leaving bruises, then I recommend the use of a leash with corrections each time he goes to jump on you to mouth and then immediately ask for an alternative behavior (be consistent about what you ask for, such as always ask for 'sit') and reward him when he follows the command. Make sure you keep the reward low key or you may get him excited, and he may start mouthing again. Dogs do eventually get it. Some are much quicker than others.

Diesel was about 6/7 months when we got him and he was a really naughty biter. through a mix of the "ouch" technique and trying not rough play with him a lot hes grown out of it. But perhaps your rescue wasn't socialized enough early on?

If the dog puts its mouth on you and bites down too hard, put your hand on around the base of its ear and squeeze, not the floppy part, everything: the ear and the hole.

You don't need to tighten your hand into a fist or you'll do damage, but squeeze until it lets go, then let go of its ear.

The next time it puts its mouth on you, put your hand on its ear. If the dog bites down, squeeze down with the same amount of pressure. When the dog loosens its grip, you loosen yours. When the dog lest go completely, you let go.
