Ignoring Finn worked really well. For almost everything from barking, crying in his crate (the first week or so), chewing, etc. But, you can also wear socks that you've sprayed with bitter apple or something distasteful any time you're walking around. He may grow to learn that your feet don't taste good. Some people use the squirt bottle, which is what I was going to do if the ignoring thing didn't work. I think it's a good idea. Or something metal filled with pennies that you could throw near him, but, obviously not at him. That also does the trick. And, time out in another room is a great idea as well, but, my only advice on that is not to ever use his crate as a time out for something done wrong (time outs to get the dog to calm down or something would be ok, but, not as a negative punishment type thing....IMO), and, I wouldn't put him as punishment in a room he'll need to like later. Like the bathroom! My friends used their bathroom as their dog's time out room, and, now, it's almost impossible to get him into their tub! He hates that room! I used a small bathroom (one with only a toilet and sink) when I was training my roommate's husky. It worked like a charm! Good luck and let us know when he gets better and how you got him to stop biting....
