Puppy playing but thinks it's OK to bite...

He's been nipping at my fingers...
So my understanding from friends dogs is to say OUCH! NO BITE!
Stop playing and ignore them...
For a period of time...

But this little one doesn't want to go into his crate and uses every tactic he can to not go in.

As a consequence of trying to do that he thought I was still playing and decided to have a nip on my back.

😒

It wasn't and has never been painful but he needs to learn this isn't acceptable...

He seems to start doing this the moment I pass him a ball, in an attempt to teach him how to play fetch..
My fingers must be especially tasty.
