Has you momma made a livin will, Miles? You might wanna
write your puppy into your livin will arrangements. That's called
RESPONSIBLE OWNERSHIP, Miles. Gotta protect HOWER
future IN ADVANCE. Better hop to it, eh Miles?

MHOWETHING is a SYMPTOM of BONDING, Miles.

If your puppy bites your hand you gotta shove your
doGdameneD fingers DHOWEN it's throat to gently
choke IT HOWETA his DOMINANCE BEHAVIOR.

Swatting a dog on the nose is always the wrong thing to do.

IMO, the *fastest* way to curb a mouthy puppy's desire to bite hands
(especially if other methods have failed, because you don't want this
habit to become reinforced by too much success), etc., is to take
advantage of the pup's gag reflex:

Slowly reach over and around the pup's shoulder (while you're sitting
on the floor), coming up to the pup's mouth from underneath it with
your right hand (that way he can't see your finger or your hand), and
stick your index finger into the pup's mouth, at the very rear, then
down the pup's throat, and gently place some downward pressure on the
back of the tongue, until he starts to gag. Use your left arm to hold
him close to you, while you're doing this. Trust me, it's easier to
demonstrate this technique than to explain it, but it's fail-proof.

He'll quickly put 2 and 2 together. Biting hands = gag.

all over me too much. These are both occurring when I am in bed, either
trying desperately to read of the evening, and trying to sleep. Any
tips on controlling this and other precociousness?

Thanks!- Miles; Sydney.
