oops....
If he's been chewing on you and humping your leg
This isn't being just a puppy
He's claiming you as a possession
Time to set the record straight with this yung'in right away

I don't where the roles are beginning to get blurred
But a good start is with food
You say that he's starving? .... believe me, he's not
do NOT cater to this behavior
Yorkies are VERY finicky ... if he doesn't want to eat that's fine
if he's 4.5 months the likelihood of hypoglycemia is very low
you feed him ... make sure he sees that YOU eat first (make believe)
after a half hour the bowl goes away

Chewing on you and/ or humping you is Not to be tolerated
A good way to make this super clear is the quickly move him away using the skin at the back of the neck or shoulders
This is what Mother dogs or dominant dogs do

During this Chewing phase
keep him contained in a few rooms where he can be monitored
just like with a toddler who can get into trouble
this baby needs to be supervised ... and just like Moms with toddlers who say .. I can't take it anymore
You have the right to vent
But we all have gone thru it and there is another side
the work's hard sometimes but always well worth it
