my biting GS

Question
My male GS is 6 months.  He is constantly nipping.  I have tried the mouth closed, and squeezing his lips around his teeth and always saying no bite but he continues to bite and grab onto clothing.  also, he is always swatting his paws.  although in a playful way it hurts and i have a niece and nephew that are small and my dog doesnt realize that his paws are huge. how can i get him to stop biting and be more gentle?

Answer
HI BETH
WHY NOT GET A SPRAY BOTTLE OF WATER, ADD A TAD BIT OF VINEGAR TO IT.  WHEN HE SPATS HIS PAWS OR GRABS CLOTHING OR BITES, SPRAY INTO THIS FACE AND HOLLER NO MORE!!
ALSO, HOW I CORRECT MOST MY SHEPHERDS WHEN ANGRY WITH ONE IS GRAB A HUNK OF HAIR ON BACK OF THE NECK, LIFT UP AND KINDA PINCH WHILE SHAKING IT BACK AND FORTH HARD, LOUDLY SAYING NO MORE!  U HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR BODY POSTURE ALSO SO HE KNOWS YOU MEAN BUSINESS, THAT YOUR HIS BOSS AND LEADER AND IF HE DOES NOT BEHAVE HE GET THE PUNISHMENT HE HATES.  HE WILL SOON GROW OUT OF THIS AND BEHAVE WITH SOME POSITIVE PUNISHMENT, U JUST MUST ACT ANGRY, LOUDER AND FIRMER IN CORRECTING HIM IMMEDIATELY.  POINT YOUR FINGER INTO HIS FACE, LOOK INTO HIS EYES AND LOUDLY SAY NO MORE, I AM SICK OF THIS.  HE WILL GET THE MESSAGE WHEN HE SEES THE DIFFERENCE IN YOUR ATTITUDE AND POSTURE.

WARM REGARDS
