Hi Chris not sure if the males are worst for this but Ollie use to be the same but it was our arms. He took a long time and many bruises later to sort out it was consistency and teaching him fetch a toy that solved our problem. We did also give him time out when he got too bad normally when overtired he went into the kitchen behind a gate only for a couple of minutes if he behaved he was allowed to stay out if he forgot and got excited and nipped and bit he went straight back in and we carried on with this till he learnt.

He is still mouthy I think its a breed trait someone else at a training class told me their Berner was mouthing hard till he was a year old.

Ollie now Mouths my arm when I come home but if I say gently he stops or lessens his bite.
