EVERY time, be ready to shove a toy in his mouth. Say "NO" firmly, and push a toy in his mouth. When he's laying next to you without putting teeth on you, praise him and give him attention. That's what he wants. Attention. Make sure you are noticing when he's being good even if it's a few seconds of good behavior, not just when he's chewing on you. When he starts chewing...do the NO and toy thing, then ignore him till he's doing what you want. Chewing the toy. Pretty soon he'll go to the toy, and you praise him. You'll almost be able to see him thinking "oh! I'm supposed to chew the TOY." Be very consistent. EVERY time, be ready to shove a toy in his mouth. Say "NO" firmly, and push a toy in his mouth.

It's a great way to teach impulse and jaw control in adolescent and adult dogs who missed early bite inhibition and manners lessons. teaching mouthy dogs this age to learn to play a civilized game of tug of war.
