Default big biting problems with new puppy! please help me!

hi
recently picked up a third dog from the local dogs home, am having really bad biting problems, not just your average puppy nipping but growling and biting out drawing blood, not sure how to go about stopping this. no amount of scolding seems to be making any difference and it happens whenever i try to do anything with the puppy that it does not want to do, brush it, take something from it, pull it off the sofa!
is she just displaying dominant behaviour i have never had problems this bad with my other to and i really want to get on top of it as soon as possible,
any advice would be very much appreciated

Realize that in order to have control of your dog in all kinds of situations and to enjoy a normal, wonderful life with your dog, proper training is essential. The earlier, the better. Early training when the dog is a puppy between the ages of seven to ten weeks is best. However, if the dog is older, training should also be mandatory. This applies to every dog regardless of breed, size and sex.

Make sure your dog is in good health with no medical reasons for him to react aggressively because of pain.

Obtain as much information about your dog's ancestry, history and medical history as possible from the dog's veterinarian, previous owners, the breeder, the shelter - wherever your dog came from.

Learn to recognize the signs of aggression.

Determine what type of aggressive behavior you are dealing with.

Test your dog and test any dog you are considering bringing into your home, puppy or adult.

Recognize that a truly aggressive dog is not a happy dog and that living with the dangers and the liabilities is not a safe or normal way of life.

Know that anyone (professional or otherwise) who says that aggression is not a problem or that your dog will out grow the problem, does not understand aggression.

Take appropriate action early on, when your dog is still a puppy and behavior modification is easier.

Seek professional help from a qualified expert who understands aggression and will not exacerbate the problem.

In a few cases, behavior cannot be modified and options need to be considered.

Maybe you should try to give him some dog toys. Crate him with his dog toys. This will help.

My puppy is teething as of now as well. He's a tiny yorkiepoo and doesn't draw blood, but is quite fond of my hand and fingers. Whenever he gets too aggressive I give him a chew toy and crate him but to prevent him from biting me (or furniture or anything and everything else...) when he's out, I use bitter spray. You can find it at any pet store for around $6 for an 8oz bottle - mine is made from rosemary and is all natural. It tastes awful, but isn't torturous and cruel, and after using it my puppy no longer has an appetite to bite the things I've sprayed. It's also helpful in training! I hope that helps!
