I'm definitely having the same problem with Miles. I have been for quite some time now. I'll just be sitting on the couch. He'll come up so I pet him, then he chews on my hand. He just wants me to play, but he needs to learn that is not the way to initiate it with me! He is very persistent. I have tried just about everything...a
nd so far, the only thing that sort of works is this. When he starts biting, I get up, say "NO!" and walk away (sometimes I have to pry his mouth off me or my clothes!). Alot of times he'll follow me and continue to chew on me. I then remove myself from the room...usually go in the bedroom and shut the door. He'll bark and whine at the door for a minute or so, then quiet. That's when I know he's laying down and calming down. Also, I've now begun to make him get in his crate sometimes when he starts biting, which also calms him down a bit. When he is calm, I let him out and play with a toy with him. If he bites me, it's back to the same routine. I don't know how much effect it's had on him, but I think it might be helping a bit.
