I have the same issue with my DCB (16 mos.)! He doesn't bite out of anger or frustration, he is just so oral! He approaches the whole world with an open mouth. It is so hard to try and prevent it because it isn't like an angry or frustrated bite where you can see it coming. If he just sees a hand or foot) or back or arm or my couch) he goes in for the kill! What makes it even more difficult is that he also licks and kisses everything too so sometimes I will see what I think is a bite about to happen, run across the playroom like a maniac, and he is just giving kisses. I have tried giving him a cold teether and that works for a bit. I've also been taking them all outside for longer times as he doesn't bite outdoors. Sometimes I will peel an apple and let him chow on it just to keep his mouth busy! He loves apples so he doesn't mind that he has to sit down with it.
