I have a 10 week old bulldog mix that does nothing other than bite me and my fiance.Is there any way i can get him to stop this behavior as he has broken the skin a few times.
If he is biting your hand, push your thumb down on his tongue. This will cause some discomfort for him. Do it every time he bites and he will soon learn to associate biting with discomfort and annoyance.
I'm afraid that biting is part of the process of owning a puppy. We got ours at 6 weeks, he's about 19 weeks now and still nibbling occasionally, although he has got a LOT better than he was before. They do grow out of it, don't worry. Provide him with lots of chewy things, things to pull, gnaw on, rip and tear (just don't give him any COOKED bones - they splinter. Uncooked bones are okay in moderation.)
If he bites you too hard, tell him a sharp 'no!' and provide him with something else to chew, like a toy.
These people above me are right..hes teething try and buy him some toys i usually go to the .99 or Big Lots to get my dog his toys if he does bite you though have a can empty it and put a few coins in it and shake it whenever he does anything you dont want him to do trust me it works:)

good luck :D
when he puts his mouth on your hands/fingers/what not- yelp loudly and turn away.
By doing that you display that "Ouch! that hurt!" and he will learn.
Also give him something to chew. he is teething.
his teeth are coming in, its normal. get him chew toys. he's teething.
