I have seen posts online lately people struggling with agression problems in their dogs. No dog is born aggressive or wanting to bite a human we create that behavior. If your dog is biting people or yourself you need to step back and evaluate what you are doing to create this behavior. It is never the dogs fault he is just an animal doing what he knows to communicate in a human world. Canines have a completely different communication from humans. Yes they can adapt and learn to recognize what a large number of human words mean in relation to what they are taught they mean but the way they communicate with each other is through touch and look. Dogs do not carry on in conversation with one another they communicate through posture, scent, and gesture in touch. To correct a negative behavior like the dog put its mouth on me I don't like it we can't plead with him, ask him why wave at him pat him that's a human thing. Dogs correct each other with a show of teeth, stiff body, sideways eye glance and bite to show a dislike of something.
We need to come back with a stronger correction than that bite and let the dog know its unacceptable or he will continue the agression because it works. Use a high setting on an e collar this way it's not necessarily you touching the dog the dog will believe a negative thing happened when he bit because of the bite. He in turn will stop the behavior to avoid correction which is what we want. Spray bottles are for cats let's keep it that way. It may annoy the dog a bit but in no way is on the same level of an aggressive bite to correct the bite behavior. Using a pop correction on a prong collar or choke on dominant dog collar works because it imitates a pack mate biting his neck same correction they use with each other.
We must be assertive and stop our dogs from hurting us or others they were not born to do this. It's our responsibility to make sure we have safe pets two seconds of uncomfortable correction is nothing when the outcome for agression is usually death. So way the options use an e collar stim, or prong or let the animal be euthanized or someone get hurt. Your choice
