my 3 month old beauceron bites a lot, i usually can control his biting but he is getting very ressourceful. Picking him up and looking in his eyes while I hold his cheeks and a firm no biting just does not phase him he gets more riled up and launch and try to get any part of the body this of course is worst outside where he is difficult to catch even if he is always on a leash. he gets his herding look and comes at people he knows how to sit so sometimes that will work when he comes that fast I tell him to sit and he does and then i distract him with a toy, but this morning he would not stop coming at me and biting this mught be play for him but not for me I finally put him away for 2 mn and let him out when he calmed down he was good, after I made him do a couple of sits and down and reinforce him any ideas?
I purchased the video on dominance and will get the basic obedienc and puppy dvd I had shepherds and dobe before but he beats them,all he is a beauceron.

Louise, you are doing the right thing by redirecting and giving him time to calm down in his crate when he gets too wound up. Are you giving him chew toys when in his crate, like the ones sold here?
Getting him good and tired will help with the mouthiness too.
In the meantime, stock up on bandaids and peroxide!
I myself got very frustrated when my puppies would get really hyper and bitey like you describe. However, remember that puppies bite and getting mad at them not only does no good, it can harm your relationship. (Doesn't sound like you got mad at him, but sometimes people do).
My puppies had a choice: stop biting me and bite your toy instead, or go in your crate or pen to settle down. When you are calm, you may come out and play again. I didn't fight with them, argue, or allow myself (or the dog) to get frustrated.
You are doing the right thing. If he won't redirect onto a toy, crate him (calmly) so he can calm down. It is NOT dominance, just puppy playfulness.
P.S. It would be great if you did an introduction in the Member Bio forum - I would love to see a pic of your beauceron!

Louise,
Try a high yelp and turn away and ignore your pup. This really worked for me. It's what other dogs do to let each other know the play went too far. The above advice is great too. Figure out what works for you and your pup.
