Don't want to jump in on the excellent advice you're receiving but just wanted to mention that it sounds like you're looking for that beautiful "Off" switch that many of these more active pups don't seem to come equipped with.
Training a "Relax" or "Go to your Bed" command comes in handy till the switch kicks in naturally.
There's some good threads and videos (Ram from India) comes to mind, on here about that.
Don't know what your house training plan is but crating and NILIF also go a long way in establishing the house routine and rules of the relationship.

Thanks CJ - I appreciate all the advice I get for sure. This board has been by far one of the most helpful I've ever joined.
One of my plans right now is to create a cover for my crate since we have one of those wire ones. I've noticed that he likes a den, something enclosed - he climbs under the sheets all the time haha
I've been doing my best to exercise him as much as possible - but I have a feeling the crate will have to be used a bit more along with the place command on his bed. The only issue we run into with the place command is he gets very vocal because he's stuck on his place lol

Robert;
I'm getting a little confused. From your first two posts, I got the impression that the mouthing was occurring during your tug/training sessions. First I thought it was during the early part of the game. Then, it seemed like it was when you were trying to end the game. Now, it seems like it is remote from the game.
If your last post is accurate, then training rewards is not the issue. You already have a behavioral problem. You pbly can use corrections, but by your own words they are ineffective. A major adjustment is in order. You may want to start another thread for this, and get advice from as many members as possible.
I'd make a HUGE ordeal of getting bit by this dog. Next time he bit me, he'd get a "come to Jesus" correction. After that, I'd scream like a dropped baby and yank away the bitten limb any time he put his teeth on me. Then I'd put him away for a little while.

Yeah, I apologize if I don't seem to express well with writing.I'd prefer talking so I can clarify myself at that moment. Here's what happens..(1) His behavior is good,training with kibblets ect. Responds well and is a quick learner...but looses interest in such a weak reward...engagement wanes. (2) when I jump his reward up to pieces of meat...WOW total engagement and fast responded. (3) when I play tug for a few moments as his reward I get the same results as (2). But afterwards when using (1+or2) he carries on for the rest of the day going at my leg or hand. When using (1) he dosnt and goes throughout the day after training fine. That's the best I can describe it..?????

You want the high value rewards for training. Teach him what you want. He must learn to control himself. If you don't learn how to train self-control, you can expect 10 more years of working around his bad behavior.
