Mouthing hands instead of toys is a social behavior in puppies.
This is how they learn appropriate social play for dogs. This can
be easily trained out. When the dog tries to mouth hands, you
simply take the hand away, tell it firmly, "NO!" You should then
immediately offer a toy. Reward the dog for mouthing the toy and
not hands.
