Question New puppy owner...discipline question

My husband & I say, "NO" very firmly when we catch Rocky in the action of doing something bad. Sometimes, he'll stop when we say it, wait a few seconds & go back at it again.....so then we'll say it a little louder, till he gets the point, but nothing too crazy.
My question is this. I have done some research online about the best way to discipline a new puppy. They said that while you say no, you are supposed to tap firmly on their head......is this true? I can't imagine lifting a finger to my puppy.....I don't want to hurt him or make him see me as a monster. What is the best way to discipline a Yorkie puppy when he won't stop nibbling or tries to go after the wires in our living room???
