Corgis are nippers, so they'll do it more. But most puppies do have to learn not to nip at some point. Tapping Shippo on the nose only encouraged him to nip back.

With Shippo, when he started biting me too hard during play, I made a HUGE deal out of it. I went "OWWWW! You &$%@#!!!!" got up, and just abruptly ended playtime by ignoring him, leaving the room if I had to. Nothing physical needed. I tried yelping like I read, but Shippo was particularly hard-headed and needed something louder to deter him lmao..

This is only one method. You puppy may respond to it, or may respond to something different.
