say "NO!" in a commanding tone. In any case it's probably teething or something, so get him some puppy chew toys to alleviate his need to chew/bite.

A dog doesn't understand "no" anymore than they understand ouch. You can use any command as long as it comes with the proper reinforcement. My dog knows the command "go to your house" and he will go lie in is kennel. The key is pick a word and stick with it. Repetition is key. Also, phil is right, its not aggression, its just puppy play. Although if you begin to play when he does it, he may think that thats the way to get play started. Wait til the behaviour stops, then get down on the ground with a tug toy and tucker him out.
