Your little dog is a pack animal and thus requires your involvement that nurtures the things he truly needs as a dog: time and play and one-on-one time bonding and loving throughout. Screaming and yelling will only excite and frighten him. But being a pack animal, he must have a firm, loving, nurturing leader. I would start with the Nothing In Life Is Free method(just Google it) where you slowly teach your little one how to respect you through simple, positive interactions. Next, invest in a couple of good books from noted trainers that promote fun, positive-reward training sessions that are very short and frequent. Read & learn all you can about leadership and training and how important those things are to anyone having any problems with their little one.

Leadership and training will help your dog if you really want to learn to do it right. Your dog needs your full commitment to being a good parent but if for some reason you cannot, I would contact the breeder and if he/she won't take the little baby, try the rescue group here. I'm currently reading Tamar Geller's The Loved Dog, which is a great positive-reward training bookand she has a lovely section on how to deal with biting. I am sure you could find a copy online.
