Smart dog learns when he doesn't have treats on him, I can still bite, which is fun in and of itself. If he does have treats, and I bite him, we get to play the treat toss game.

Extinction will not occur for self-rewarding behaviours. I like to employ a combination of discourage the undesired behaviour with reward an alternate appropriate behaviour.
