How can I stop my 3-month-old puppy from biting hands and toes?

Question

We’ve had dogs before as little as three months, but Zeke is the only one who doesn’t bite anything but toes and hands. He’s three months. I’ve read online until blue in the face. Lol. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 13 days old | 10.4 lbs

He's a puppy and likely teething as well as playing, exploring and testing boundaries. It's up to you to teach him what is appropriate and what is bot. When he bites or chews things he isn't supposed to(including hands and feet), stop him with a firm, loud "No" or "No bite". When he stops, offer something he can chew on. If he responds positively, offer praise and a small reward. If he persists, stop all activity/interaction until he settles down, even if you have to put him in a separate room. Be firm and be consistent.
