    It's hard to tell from your description..but my bet is that he is playing. Say OWE loudly and sharply and end all play..ignore him. He will learn that biting ends the fun and you don't want to play with him when he does it. Also a puppy obedience class would be great. Look up NILIF on-line and start doing some of that with him.
    How old was your pup when you got him? Do you know when he was taken from mom and littermates?

    He is a baby, they bite and chew. Many times, they are teething. I always keep two frozen washcothes in the freezer. Just tie a knot and wet it, then freeze. My pups always feel better when chewing them. The gums are hurting. This will all pass. Say "No" and make sure there are lots of good toys.  Chewing something cold helps.
