Nipping
Never allow them to put their mouth on you or start nipping on your hands, fingers, toes or clothes no matter how “cute” it is when they are babies!
Correction: A firm “No bite”, redirection to a chew toy.
Are they nipping because of teething?
Solution:
Try different frozen things for them to chew. Teething toys, bully sticks, uncooked beef bones (no rib bones). A Healthy option is carrots either baby carrots or the large ones cut up.
Place them in a ziplock and freeze them.
After any chew object get to small discard to avoid choking. 
Is your puppy nipping because he/she are tired?
Allow many naps during the day, when they start getting really nippy and a firm no bite and a toy doesn’t seem to deter them…it is nap time.
Naps are so important. Your pup should be sleeping more than they are awake. They are still babies. This is not a punishment but a removal from over stimulating and quiet time.
Consistency and praise really pays off. This takes patience.
Is the Aussie nipping out of boredom?
Try puppy mind games that you hide kibble in. Lick mats, toys with texture help with teething. See some examples here.
After any chew object get to small discard to avoid choking.
Outdoor games and activities several times a day are very important but don’t forget mind stimulation is equally important!
Be patience, consistent & praise.
Remember you are building a lifetime relationship that you will never regret!
