-i grab mine by the scruff of the neck and give them a good hard shake and yell "NO CUT IT OUT!" at them if they growl
-dont let him sleep on your bed
-dont let him up on the lounges
-dont let him out the door before all the humans he must sit and wait till all humans are out before he is allowed out.

Maybe this is just my opinion but IMO "some" of these things seem a bit harsh and forceful for just a 10 week old.........

Mine did the same. She is a mix with Labrador so her mouthing was even worse at times. I made a bunch of frozen Kong's and when she got too mouthy and teethy I removed her from the situation and gave her a frozen Kong. By the time she was done her teeth and mind got the chewing out for a while and she would be much calmer.
Jean Donaldson(sp?) has a chapter in her book "The cultural Clash" about how puppies need to chew and use their mouths a certain amount of time a day and gives lots of tricks on how to help your puppy get that out so they don't use your skin......
