Keep redirecting him and give him lots of bones to chew on, frozen carrots, kongs with yogurt in them...Good luck, sounds like a keeper if you are bleeding lol. :)
If you are not using a crate and he is out tie him to you with a leash and keep an eye on him, just NUH UH him if he starts to chew on something he shouldn't and give him something appropriate. And get a trainer. :)

Exercise that tires him out will help, have him chase soft toys on the end of a rope, allow him to catch the toy then relax it when he drops it let him chase it again or put it up. This is the start of a relationship where he trusts and needs you, don't jerk objects out of his mouth, exchange. Puppy proof his environment, give him a proper outlet for his energy. Now is the critical time for socialization, protection should come naturally but needs training to direct and control it. Supervise the contact with others, don't let others discipline your dog, no one should chase him, have him get in the habit to follow you now as he will not want to in a few months. Ignore bad behaviours like jumping reward instantly when he gets off. Learn about training with markers. So much more... In addition to the other good chew items recommended I would add bullysticks he will spend hours chewing. If you are bleeding a lot, you have a good dog.

Is it ok to play tug of war with the pup? Also, he has a bad habit of bitting your feet when you are walking around the house. My wife got it pretty bad and I can't let this go on. What do you do??
