Tbh man puppies really just need to learn how to play with humans a good thing to have with young puppies is a dedicated timeout spot and get them to stay until they calm down is good. Having training sessions for things like sit lay down and whatnot is a great way to help gain trust with puppies and always remember it's not that the puppy is trying to be mean and hurt you it's just trying to play or is scared. Having tons of different toys for chewing is good then replacing your hand or whatever it's biting with the toy can help but sometimes it doesn't you can also legit just spray the puppy with water when it's doing something bad can also be a good way to get the puppy out of bad habits. Now for the barking typically that does go away with time as the puppy grows up puppies are normally just bark more but spraying with the water bottle is a good way to stop that
Hopefully this helps at least a little every dog is different |

Use treats to get it use to it we had same problem with our 3 dogs.
Is the dog food motivated |

I've had several dogs/pups while growing up. Have two now.
Your best bet is to exercise more. Run him, play with him outside more. Most of that is just built up energy. Also, get him treats/bones that he can chew on, that will last hours. When he chews on something like a bone, reward him. When he's not biting or barking at something, reward him. Also, when sleeping, get the puppy a sound machine/radio for night. It has helped every puppy I've had sleep. It is glorious. |

Like others have said, use treats.
I have two huskies and had the issue for a little but using treats is a great way to teach them since it's a reward for doing something good, they will keep doing it. I've seen videos of people online using a stuffed animal to help train but I've never done it and idk if it works. Pretty much they pretend the stuffed animal bites them in front of the dog, then they beat the stuffed animal and kick it across the room to show the dog it's not ok. (Please don't hit your dog or kick it across the room). Hope this helps |
