The dog may be playing, herding, bored, frightened or aggressive. First give the dog exercise by taking for long walks or runs, but make sure it is in the 'heel' position. It needs to know you are in charge. Don't encourage bad behavior by rewarding the dog with affection or praise when it's doing something bad. See a professional trainer.

Because biting and chewing are absolutely vital to a dog's very nature; you will find it to be difficult if not utterly impossible to train dog not to bite. The best suggest would be to teach your dog that all humans are higher in the hierarchy that the dog is.

When dog's teeth touch human skin at all, say "no" firmly and withdraw all attention for a minute. Turn away, ignore. Be consistent. If biting is serious, contact professional trainer.
