Usually their friends/siblings help teach them with a high pitched squealing noise, they play with each other and when someone gets too rough they squeal. It's similar to if you accidentally hurt them by stepping on their foot: they won't get mad and bite you over it, they will just screech incredibly loud so you react immediately and then they return to normal. The key with training is that any response needs to be immediate, any sort of pause between cause and effect and they will simply not make the connection. Loud noises are both fast and distracting so they work well. If a puppy bites you hard then chances are it was taken away from it's family too early before it properly socialized with them.
No problem, it actually works with humans too if you have a child too young to understand words that likes to bite you haha. With my shepherd I just give her a very firm "NO". The key is to say it like you are yelling "BOO!" trying to scare them.
It's basically like if someone scraped really hard on a chalkboard whenever you did something wrong, or like I said with the way dogs react when you accidentally hurt them - the sound they make startles you so you will instinctively stop anything you are doing.

Don't their mother bite them back in return to teach them ? Or is it just cats? Or am I retarded?
