What exactly should I do?

[Jenny & Henry]

OK, I am back at the nipping with my kids and now he's doing me. This is tougher because of the little ones who simply adore him.  We are doing the tree, and ignoring him but NOW he just jumps on the back of our legs, biting our pants, doing little playful growls and that cute little head shake like he might just get our pants off.  HA  It's adorable of course, but I know it won't be in six months.  When we walk away he just keeps biting at our pant hems, he don't care we're moving.  I think it adds to the fun in his eyes. 

 

So, do we just keep standing still till he loses interests?  Do I remove him from playtime completely?  :(  This just started yesterday and when I say "no bite" and move him or nudge his head away he thinks I am playing and he gets all the more excited.  I know it's been talked about but I was out in the yard thinking "now what do I do?"  Do I just tolerate it to some level while reiterating what we would LIKE him to do?  So many puppy questions.  I don't know how my mom raised so many well behaved dogs now that I am doing this for my first time as the Mom.

 

Took some new pics today!  He's such a good lil pup!

Thank you!!!!!

Yell "OUCH!" in a very high pitched voice (make it sound like a yelp), then leave the room and close the door for ~15-20 seconds.  Come back out - don't start playing with the pup right away, but do something else.

 

It's the only thing that stopped Luna during her land shark phase :)
