First let me congratulate you on your new furbaby.
At this age he wouldn't be teething so I would just assume he
does not know otherwise.
You could try holding his beard (gently) when he bites you and say
No Biting in a firm voice. When he stops say good boy and reward him
with either a treat or stick one of his own toys in his mouth.
He'll get the picture in no time. Yorkies are very smart.
Patience is key. It may take a couple of days but it should work.
Or try using a can with some coins in it. Keep it handy and shake it
each time he bites. Sayin No Bite.
Good luck,
Welcome to YT too.
