This is a targeting problem with the dog. It's almost always cause from handlers not making clear presentation of the tug for the dog to grab.
When handlers move tugs from side to side - rather than straight back away from the dog they cause the dog to bite the hand. Again this is a learned exercise that is covered in detail in my tug DVD.
