How do I teach him not to bite, I've never had this problem...? Is it ok to 'time him out' in the other room?

Help!!

You could use a spray bottle, or you could ignore him when he starts. When he sees your not responding to the bites, they usually stop. Although he is older
Have you owned him his whole life???

I would also try redirecting his biting, by getting him a toy to bite when he does it, instead of your hands or feet. If you don't ever entice him with hands or feet, he should stop eventually.
