I had the same issue when I first started teaching Jazz to target. You've actually taught him to bite the stick, seriously! I know because I did the same.
When he first started doing target training, I would let him bite the stick and this is the habit he got into. It became a problem when he wouldn't let go.
It wont take long to get him out of the habit. All you need to do is click the clicker just before he bites it and take it away and give treat. After a few goes of this, slowly allow him to touch the stick. He will get the idea.
Good luck.
