This is normal behavior for a young puppy, however that does not mean that you want him to continue doing it. The earlier you start to correct these problems the easier it will be to train him in the long run. When Snoopy bites tell him loudy and sternly "no bite!" and place him on the floor away from you and ignore him for a couple minutes. You can also try to redirect his biting behavior by giving him something appropriate to bite or chew on like a toy. Be firm and be consistent and he will realize that when he bites he gets no attention from you and he will learn to stop.
