Yoni is 10 weeks old and quite feisty. He can be very calm, sweet, and affectionate. But other times he is off the walls (like any puppy), which I'm fine with... I mean, I did choose a yorkie! The only problem is he likes to bite. A lot. It doesn't really hurt because his teeth are still so small.... but it's really annoying and we aren't sure how to get him to stop. We've tried yelping and giving a firm "no," we've tried getting up and walking out of the room, but neither worked. The former would make him really angry and bite us again, and he doesn't seem to respond to the latter.

Is this behavior normal? Should I be worried about him being too aggressive as an adult? Is he too young to understand?
