I'm holding out on the spray at this moment.
Can someone explain to me how they acctually learn NO??? (and when).
Im not ashamed to admit I dont know how to train a dog, we all started somewhere once!
He goes for fingers and toes, how do you deal with this??????

Have you read the article I linked?
Your puppy is no 'going for' you, although I appreciate the play can seem aggessive at times, but it is merely play. Very normal, healthy and
desirable in my opinion, as it gives the opportunity to teach bite inhibition, which is very important.
The problem with saying 'no' or taking action like holding the muzzle closed (something I would never advocate or do) is that it can make th epuppy more excited, or even frighten the puppy, which may lead to a more serious bite.
If you follow the advic ein the article i linked, it WILL work, but you need otbe consistent, us only that one method and give it a little time. You should start to notice a difference quite quickly though, and it is quite fun for all the family to decide who can do the best 'yelp'.
