Animal Smiley 019 Need Your Help - 8wk'r nipping, biting, mouthing

Hi everyone!

I recently took Rocky home at exactly 8 weeks and 1 day. He has been weaned off his Mama's milk enough to completely be on dry food now. Also, he was born in a litter of 2, and unfortunately his sister (the 2nd of the litter) did not make it =(

After being mostly alone in the pen, he is now having trouble with knowing what's ok and NOT ok to chew (fingers, toes, ankles, thighs, etc).

So far, we've started to "Yip!" loudly and high enough to alarm him, and this works 40% of the time. At times, we'll yip then ignore or re-direct him to a toy that is ok to chew.

Your input is definitely welcomed! As a first time dog owner, I am taking any/all suggestions!

Not sure if this link will work, but here's a little preview of my little one!
