My dog keeps biting my family?

If someone attacks me (my brother hits me playfully) my dog attacks me and not my brother. MY Grandmas friend was playfully shoving her and he bites my grandma.

    The dog is getting too excited from being allowed to join in the playful sparing. He thinks its ok to nip like he would when playing with another pack of dogs.

    Do not play fight in front of the dog if you don`t want anyone to get nipped. You and your family are the dogs substitute pack and he thinks he has the right to join in the activity.

    Put him in another room when you play rough.
