I plan on teaching him how to "high five", "roll", and "stay"..
    Exactly He thinks your punishments are fun. So even though we think a "NO" is a punishment, a puppy thinks a "NO" is a reward/reinforcement. So just stop all attention as soon as he bites, i.e. folding your arms and walking into another room or standing stock still. As soon as he gives up (he will, I promise!), initiate play again. As soon as he gets too rowdy, fold your arms and walk into another room or stand stock still. Initiate play as soon as he calms down. Repeat repeat. It's a repetitive process =)

    Gently grab his snout (lucky his is long and easy like a dachshund's) carefully wiggle/shake it and firmly say no, hank. no bite. It will make him feel ashamed and he will learn to stop.
