I have 2 Goldens - my boy is 1 1/2 yrs and the little girl is just 5 1/2 months - on #1 what I've done is, on the first "bite", I say "ouch" - the tone is dependant on the strength of the bite - and I quit playing immediately. This has worked well with the older one and seems to be working well with the youngest too. Bobby, the oldest, is now a certified Therapy Dog..
Good luck with your training - GOldens are wonderful!
