I have a 9 month old Berner puppy and he had a nipping problem in the beginning. We used the "dog whisperer" method of firmly and quickly poking him in the neck with our index and middle finger while making a "psssst" noise when he bit too hard. This action simulates what a dog would do in the wild if another dog got a little too rough...they nip each other in the neck as a warning. This method worked wonders and the results were immediate. He now responds to the words "be gentle" and the dog whisperer method is no longer required. He simply mouths us now and licks our hand.
