I like using distraction or alternatives. Like when Heaven would play-bite my hands, I taught her "No, give kisses" so she'd lick my hands instead. Unforunately she would forget the next time around, so I pulled my hand back and said "OUCH" and she felt so bad for hurting me that she doesn't do it anymore. Or else when she does, it's much more gentle.
If they're chewing on something they're not supposed to chew on, I give them one of their toys instead. The key is consistency. Your dog has to trust you, or else he/she will fear you. And no one wants a fear-biter.
