Hi Nicolay, I see this post is a little old. My Mal puppy is 11 weeks now and although not as bad as yours, we are also struggling with the biting. His favorite is to suddenly start biting my arm and hump me when I try to get a down. But it can happen any time and for no reason! I would love to hear if you managed to find help and what eventually worked for you and your pup. We are starting socialization class soon and I try to take him out often. When they go into drive its just so hard to stay calm because they draw blood and it really hurts. I have also added another layer of clothing today. What helps us a bit is if I said no a few times and get ignored i stick my finger all the way into his throat, far enough to make him gag. Trying to show him my hands are not something he wants in his mouth like that. Robert teaches to push into something to get the dog to stop so that seems to help. It has not had a bad influence on hand feeding and taking treats, Im just trying to establish some boundaries. Looking for a good trainer but all the trainers in my area are only about positive training and I know my boy needs balance and a firm hand. So would love to hear what solutions you came up with please!
