When the puppy bites you, yell "Yipe!" or "Ouch!" in a very loud, quick, high pitched voice. You'll be simulating the yip a littermate would give if they were bitten too harshly.
When you do this, your puppy should immediately release, with a look of "Oh did that hurt?". At that moment say "Good Puppy *insert name here" and give a treat.

This worked for me with Buddy, and he was a big nine month old puppy when I got him!
