I'm not sure I quite understand everything you have written, but what I do understand is that the dog really needs to be socialized. He seems to not like being alone . Since you both work all day and no one is with the dog, it may be a good ideal to find another home for him.

All puppies of that age are very playful. Your puppy is trying to play...She hasn't been properly socialized, so she is playing the only way she knows how.You need to set limits now....as it is time to show her that you are the boss.

You always try the most positive method first:
Some ideas for discouraging finger chewing: when your puppy clamps down, let out a very loud YELP in imitation of a hurt puppy. Then, fold your arms and ignore him for 10 minutes. With very young puppies, this sometimes works wonders - it's the same thing that happens when they get too rough with another puppy. The wounded puppy yelps and runs off, refusing to play for a bit. The yelp must be startling enough to stop the behavior. If nothing changes, you probably weren't a good enough actor.

That should do the trick, unless she is prey driven, . however, if it doesn't fix the problem this will work:

To introduce an element of "natural discipline", grasp the recalcitrant pup by the scruff of the neck with one hand, place your other hand over the top of his muzzle, gently pressing his muzzle towards his chest as you say, in a low, growly tone of voice, "No BITE". If they begin to throw a tantrum and thrash around trying to bite, just hold the line until they "give in" and "say uncle" (quit resisting). You should not find it necessary to get aggressive with a young puppy. Simple restraint is usually enough to get the message across.

It is safe to give Rexy a bath..As I don't know where you live, so I don't know what brands of soap you have, but Ivory Dish soap, or Ivory bath bar will kill fleas, and is safe for a baby dog.. Also, Pert Plus shampoo (for people) will kill fleas...Just bathe the dog, and leave it soapy for about 3 minutes before rinsing the soap off...Be sure to dry it well, and don't let the dog get too cold until it dries.

I don't know the meaning if the word "chump" so if you can find another word that means "chump" ?

First and foremost I don't think you should have got yourself a pup considering you both are away for most of the day.
Anyways, attend to the fleas first. You can give a 51 day old pup a bath. Use any flea and tick shampoo. Make sure you thoroughly dry her (with hair dryer if needed) ater the bath.
Don't send her to a training centre before she finishes her vaccination shots.
Food aggresssion? You need to allow the pup to bite, but also make it clear to her that it hurts. Feeding her is like rewarding the behaviour.
Keep your hands steady and give out a loud aaaah! to make rexy understand it hurts. This will teach her not to bite too hard. A lesson well learnt for the rest of her life.
All the best

I cant really understand much of what you wrote..I hope yourintentiomns are NOT to breed that dog because she isnt niceand will throw that on to het puppies, Plus Shelters Number one full blooded dogs are Labs they are put down by the 1000's daily...Your dog needs to be out of a pen and part of your family.Labs are FAMILY dogs...Maybe you should find her a new home, I dont think you are properly taking care of her! Why cant you Bathe her for 3 months? can you get some Frontline from the Vet for the fleas....Has she had any Shots? been Dewormed..I wish I knew where you lived I'd call Animal Control

Go to your nearest vet and have the dog checked. It isn't normal for a labrador to bite. They are the most gentle of breeds. Also, ask the vet for a brochure on how to take better care of the lab. An hour of frolicking, playing and running will tire her out everyday.
