If you are concerned with him chewing things in the house other than toys, try using a product called "bitter apple". Dogs don't like the taste, and it will break the chewing/biting habit in a safe way. Spray electrical cords, furniture, etc. and it will keep puppy safe as well as your home. When playing with puppy, spray your hands to keep him from biting you... just be careful to wash your hands afterward.... it really does taste nasty!

he could be teething puppys lose their baby teeth just like kids also he might not know his place in the family yet you need to establish whos the dominant family member and that person does the disipline also feed him last first the family then him it might help to hand feed for a while its time consuming but works in establishing whos boss dont let him nip if he does act like his mother would gently but firmly grab the scruff of his neck and give him a bit of a shake and make a growling sound to show him your mad then give him the cold shoulder treatment for a few mins. when he behaves lavish him with attention. hope this helps

when he bite something put some drops of lemon in his mouth and tell him "stop" after some time he will learn to don't bite in things and buy him a toy he can chew

Biting is normal. He is teething. Dip a cloth or rag in water, freeze it and give it to your dog to chew on . it really works!!

Its a phase. It will pass, get it other things to chew on, get soft and hard things for him to chew on.

Here is your first answer you can take him to the vet or start training him. All you have to do is pick.
