he wasnt with his mother and littermates during the critical period when he would have learned bite inhibition from them, so you now need to teach it, the key here will be consistency.

Every single time he puts his teeth on you whether you think he is playing or not, you need to give him something he can chew on (like a toy), if he insists you need to remove all your attention from him (get up and walk away).

Use the same tactic when he is chewing on things he shouldnt.

There is no need to yell at him, you can say "OUCH" loudly but the most important thing is giving him something else to chew on and making sure he doesnt get attention for chewing on you, because really at this age all he wants is your attention, good or bad.
