Every pup I've had seems to want to bite, I think its natural for all dogs! I have used this technique on all my dogs. Simply take their lip, the part on the side of their mouth. Fold it over their teeth, and assert pressure with your thumb, just enough so they feel their teeth on their lip. Then in a command voice say no bite! Apply more pressure as neccessary until they stop, without raising the level of your voice. Even press to the point of getting a yelp if deemed necessary. Your dog will get the point, litterally!
As far as setting your dogs place in the pack, I also learned this years ago. In the pack scenario, which dog eats first? If you guessed the dominant, or alpha, you'd be correct. Simply spit a few times in your dogs food before giving it to him. If you have multiple members in your family have all do so before the bowl is placed on the floor. This will tell your dog that every family has eaten on his food before he is allowed to eat.
Hope this helps!
