As the care giver to your dog it's up to you to nip this in the bud
(No pun intended)
You have to let the little one know what is acceptable and what is not acceptable
Like what other people have told you the way you do it
is when they bite you either make a loud noise
OUCH
NO
OW!!!
and you go away
You can also give them a little tug on the back of the neck but it isn't needed
The loud noise is to get their attention
and the lack of attention is the correction
Puppies live for attention and do not make the mistake of trying to scold them
because if you do all you're going to be is a noisy squeaky toy  |
That is all sound advice.

Does your yelp sound "fun", or serious
? You must mean it, if it sounds like something you say, in play, he may not be hearing your meaning.
Set him down, and walk away. Instantly
, consistently
, and without further address
