Puppies bite for two main reasons. First, because they are teething and it is necessary for the proper development of their jaws and adult teeth. Second, they play bite to learn self defense and how to hunt. In play with litter mates and other puppies, they learn what is called "bite inhibition," or just how hard to bite without hurting. This is a critical skill for all dogs to learn. This one skill alone is the most significant element of preventing dog bite injuries (both to other dogs and to humans). See the related question on how to stop biting (link below).
Dogs bite people, other dogs, and inanimate objects as an instinctive response to pain, fear, or anxiety. If you are holding a dog when someone else threatens or strikes him, you may be bitten instead. Dogs also bite if they sense a threat, either territorial or from a direct attack. Dogs will bite other animals to keep them away, or to establish their dominance.
Sometimes dogs will bite when they are feeling ill, or stressed, as they have no other way to cope with the stimulus. Also, just as bored dogs may chase their own tails, dogs (especially lone dogs) may sometimes bite just to get attention.
They are playing with you. Puppy teeth are sharp for a reason. They are a training tool for them to know when they have bitten too hard. When the puppy bites too hard roll them onto their back and put your hand where their chest begins and firmly say NO!. The puppy will view this as their mom/dad pinning them and barking.
