Puppies are bitting because they are teething.
By four to six months puppies should stop teething. Since your pup already 6months old the teething period should be over. But teething period for puppy might be vary and it depends on the puppy as some will move at a different rate.
But mostly, between four to six months, puppy should have his permanate teeth.
In your case since your pup is six months, and still loves bitting around? Apparently this is because puppy who stay with human need to be trained in order to stop them from bitting around.
Dog socialization will help with bitting problems. As when they are playing with their mates they can communicate, interact and they will control and inhibit bitting. This happened naturally.
I would recommend you to starting dog training to prevent the situation become worse.
First, whenever you puppy bite you, you need to inform him let him know you are suffering. When he bites you, try to yield or making noise showing you are in pain. He will get shock and stop bitting immediately by looking at you innocently. Leave him alone for few seconds. The worse thing for puppies will be staying alone without companion. So they will realize, you don’t like them to do that. Remember to keep this action consistent and persistent when training your puppies.
Tips do not leave shoes or socks for your puppies to chew as this might develop misunderstanding for your puppies when they saw shoes or socks they will just bite it. If you are having a bitting maniac dog they might want to try with this method. Putting a nylon bone in the freezer and whenever he start bitting, give him the bone as the cold bone would numb his teeth a little and of course the chewing eases the pain too.
