today i think i've realised he bites when he wants to play. this morning i was gettin ready and he made a kind of cry noise and then lashed out. i said no and i try to walk into him to make him back off, this didnt work to i say no again and try to walk away, if he's quite calm i ask him to sit but this doesnt work when he's in the frame of mind to bite. if he doesnt stop nipping at my arms and legs i walk out the room and shut the door for bout 30secs and then go back in, dont look at him and get on with what i was doing, this usually works. but the problem over the past few days has been he's doing it in the garden when i cant get away quick enough and to ignore him is too painful, the bites really hurt and can cause cuts and bruises. i must stress this is not all the time, he's not a terrible puppy
but this is really getting to me now and i dont know what else to try. his tail is wagging when he bites
