During play my Corgi pup (three months old) always wants to nip/bite/chew at my face, my hands, etc. He does it mostly to me, but also to my mother and others in our household, though not to people outside of our home. It is a very irritating and painful habit, as I have scratches from his teeth on my hands and it often hurts when he gets your nose/lips etc. Everytime he does it I firmly tell him no, often with a tap on the nose--nothing hard, but enough to get him to focus and stop biting for a fraction of a second. Yet the reprimand doesn't seem to work.

Is this a Corgi thing? None of my other dogs did this as puppies. Will it go away as he gets older? And is there anything I can do to make him realize that biting is not good?
