When he/she bites you, let out a loud "yelp" just like they do when they get hurt. It makes you feel a little silly, but they understand that when they make that noise, it means they got hurt, so they transfer that knowledge to biting your arm/hand/whatever hurts you.
good luck!

During the training, the collar must tighten around the puppy's neck when pulled and loosen immediately when released. Attach a six-foot leather leash.
Standing at your puppy's right side, hold the leash with both hands a bit below waist level. Jerk the leash sideways and slightly upward to the right, which tightens the collar around the neck and gives a mild negative sensation. As you jerk the leash say 'No' in a firm tone of voice.
Set up a situation in which your puppy will be likely to nip, initiate a corrective jerk, and tell him no as soon as he begins the behavior. Use a gentle tone with a shy dog and a firmer tone with a stubborn dog. Praise him when the behavior ceases, and offer an acceptable chew toy, such as rawhide or a frozen washcloth.

Maybe 10 week old puppies like to bite, I know my Pomeranian puppy that is older than 10 weeks likes to nibble on me occasionally.
Everytime your puppy bites you, act like it hurts a lot and make a big fuss. Be like, "Ouch! That hurts!" Making a big scene so that is scares them. Eventually, they will learn that biting causes you to make a big fuss and that you won't like it.
If that doesn't work, then everytime your pup bites you, swat their nose and firmly say, "No! It's bad to bite." They will get it eventually.
Reward your puppy with lots of treats and affection when they don't bite you, too! They'll learn that not biting equals more fun.

I have a puppy myself. I had to pay close to $800 to send her to puppy training school. It was a very good experience because I had NO idea how to do it. Now I read books on it but I wish I knew then about the books. Everyone kept telling me to send her to puppy obedience.
If you can pay the hundreds of dollars to do it....go and do it. Its well worth the money. Make sure you get past customers' recommendations first.
If your budget is tight then read this manual and put it into practice. Be patient with the doggie or you will be yanking out your nose hairs. :)

Every time he bites at you, give him a little knock on the nose and then continue playing like nothing happened. That will condition the dog to expect an unpleasant, but not painful, knock on the nose and his behavior will gradually be modified.

Pinch him. Puppies learn not to bite from their siblings and parents because they bite back. So what you need to do it bite back.

it is normal as the pup thinks that it is only playing but if it gets a bit vicious just give it a little tap on the nose and tell him/her NOO every time she/he does it good luck!!!
