Hi! and Congratulations on your new boy. He is quite young! so he may be biting for a little while yet. He'll certainly grow out of it if you patiently teach him. If they're going for your hand, with my Yorkies, I VERY gently give them a little more than they were trying to bite, which they find unpleasant, and deters them. Then replace your hand, which they've just backed away from, with a toy that is acceptable to chew on/play with. They should catch on to that quickly. With other objects, it just takes a lot of observation and persistence- catch them as often as possible while they're doing something undesirable, be firm, then present the alternative thing to chew on. Being consistent and getting all humans on the same page is key!
