Adorable face - probably a devil in hiding :p
If the biting is clearly play biting a firm NO should work (and see previous comments). If more serious then try bitter apple spray. You definitely want to stop this type before it gets out of hand.
Mine (3 yrs old) occasionally will bite (gently and really just a mouthing) when trying to get my attention to play. But you can tell from her expression that she knows she did something unacceptable.
Consistent training is the most important thing you could do.

Just want to say Hi!!
Call me crazy but I just added 2 new/rescued adult girl b'dogs to the two I rescued 10 years ago. So far so good considering everyone was a bit freaked out from the long 8 hour drive from Florida to Georgia. Everyone is settling in and getting the hang of the new house, stairs etc.
As with any new rescue it takes time to build trust from the dogs end. My new girls are taking treats from my hands and not the fingers lol. Everything takes time so far so good.
Peace and love - and lots of belly rubs to all.
