This works on puppies too. If they get a bit nippy, overreact to the biting.
There's probably a lot of similarity between what works on very young kids and puppies, at least until they learn to use that brain of theirs better.
That's the reaction a puppy would get from a sibling or its mom. The fake yelps immediately stop rough play, everyone looks around for a few seconds trying to figure out what happened. Then they bow to invite to play / signal no intent to harm, and continue playing with less biting.
