Re: Biting
At three months what he's doing is perfectly natural & normal.
Every time he nips you, say "no" or give a sharp yelp, and then turn away. Completely ignore him, don't even look at him. When he's calm, give him quiet praise. If he carries on, just pick him up & put him out of the room for a minute. Again, once he's calm let him back in a give him quiet praise. If everybody does that every time he nips, he'll soon realise that nipping = no play/fuss and not nipping = fuss/company!

Re: Biting
awww he's gorgeous, no tips from me as i tried everything but nothing seemed to work, but all i can say is bear with it, it does get better and it doesn't mean he's going to be horrible as mine is a darling now.
Good luck
