Sibe mouthing

Siberians play with their mouths open when they play together.  I have two now, so most of that gets played out with each other.  The word "gentle" has always worked with my dogs.  Or make a sound like "ow", as if it hurt to get him to stop if it is rough.
 
It is how they learn about their world, tasting smelling.  But you need to let him know what is ok and what is not. 
 
 

I tried that, didn't work.

did you just say "ow"? the way we taught our pup, was to say "ow" kinda the same way a dog will yelp if they are hurt and withdraw totally from him for a bit (ie. leave the room or stop the game or ....).

Yup.  And if the dog is still going coo coo, leaving the room or just turning your back to him can help.  The less attention given bad behavior the less reward the dog will feel doing the bad thing!

He barks when I do that, but it does stop it

One thing that worked for me, and I know it won't work for every dog or for everyone:  I used bitter apple and carried alot of appropriate chew items at all times.  If he mouthed me I was already loaded up with the bitter apple...so yuck.  And then while he was still wondering what had happened:  BAM an chew toy in his mouth and alot of praise.

you could do what we did...get another husky so they can mouth eachother!! lol

bitter apple works great...once the pup associates the spray bottle with the action,you will only need to reach for it and they will stop the behavior...after a half way through the bottle,the rest will last a long time...

I'll give that a try.

Wolfdog, are you a young one?  I read where you talk about your mom and so I am guessing you are younger. 
 
The thing is that your husky wants to play with you like he would play with other huskies!  The suggestion about getting a 2nd one is actually right on.  As long as they have a yard to run in.  Otherwise I would not consider it.
 
If you are not very tall, your dog may feel he is an equal to you.  I know my youngest boy used to have a hard time with our last husky.  The dog thought of him more like a sibling than the one in charge.  He would get rough with my son at times, and all in the game playing.  I had to teach my son to be in charge of the dog.  (btw, this dog loved the taste of bitter apple,, not to say it would not work for your dog though- each dog is unique!) 
 
I would suggest that you stay higher than your dog, do not get down on the floor with him right now, while he is going through this adolescent identity stage.  Dog needs to know that youre the boss.   I do think that if you like to read that book by Patricia McConnell would be a great read for you and your mom.  The Other End Of The Leash.  It has some interesting pov in it, and it is fun to read amazingly. 
 
My last husky was more like the textbook idea of the breed.  The two I have now, are incredibly cuddly.  The female is so like a cat!  She is adorable.  And the boy is more like a boy, wants to wrestle!   They are just 8 mos, so not as far along as your dog apparently.
 
If you search the web, you will find lots of fun info about your dog's breed.  Siberians are special.  Familiarity will help ease your confidence about things like his talk, woo woooo woooo.  It is actually very endearing.

Leave the room.  It will end his fun session.  Once he realizes that you will not stay with him at these rowdy times, then he will start to understand that you do not want to be mouthed.
 
I do remember my older husky behaving like this at his adolescent time!  He became the best dog I ever had.

 
he'd keep nipping on my back/butt when i'm walking away also, and he's getting his jawpower, and now it like, really hurts.
 
 
 
Dogslife- I am twleve, in eigth grade, kinda small for my age, only 4 foot 11. I don't know whether if you consider that small, but I think I have a good height comparison.

Stay taller above the dog.  Talk to him with firm voice and use body language and hand signals.  Consistancy is important and Pick up some reading about Sibes.

I used bitter apple when my dog kept biting my ankles and feet.  It didn't work just spraying it on my shoes, though, I squirted her right in the mouth while she was biting.  2 squirts, and she's never bitten an ankle again.  I never used it for general puppy nipping, because her nipping never hurts and it's enough to just stop playing with her and re-direct her.  I tried using it to get her to stop chewing, but it did no good, although ironically if I caught her in the act of chewing, and showed her the bottle, she'd stop right away.  I'd try the other methods mentioned here before the bitter apple, but I did find it to work very well in a situation where nothing else would.
