When does the biting STOP?

[Megan]

Okay, I am fedddd up with this biting crap. I feel like I've tried everything and Brooks will not stop biting when he is excited. It's still the same puppy bite from before, but he's 7 months old and I thought it would have ceased by now. I feel like I've tried everything from yelping, ignoring, spraying him with bitter apple in the mouth and closing his mouth and sternly yelling NO BITE. It is only when he's in that "mood" - but its annoying because when people come over, he gets excited and wants to just put his teeth on them. Will it stop as he gets older? I feel like it got better at 5 months and now its BACK! My arm is NOT a chew toy! Help!

I'm following this discussion because our 13 month Labradoodle still nips during play.  He was extremely mouthy as a puppy and the behavior is improved but is not gone.  If I yelp like hell he will stop for a while but my yelping hasn't cured him.  Sigh!
