(he is 8 weeks old) So how do i stop him?

Answer 1

Puppies must be taught bite inhibition.  He hasn't yet learned that biting is not appropriate play with humans.  Here's how to teach bite inhibition:

Answer 4

Give him a firm "NO" and move him away from you.

When he comes up to you and you're laying on the ground and doesn't bite you, or doesn't bite your hands when you're holding him, tell him he's a good boy and reward him with a treat.

He'll learn that he gets scolded for biting, but gets rewarded for being sweet.

Answer 5

Well he is 8-weeks-old, he is teething.  The baby teeth come out between 4-and 6-months-old.  Trade your fingers for a toy or bone, and you can wear something like garden gloves when you are training.  You could use a command like "off" when he is biting or pulling hair.  When he behaves, say "good boy" so he learns what pleases you and what doesn't.  With my current puppy, I have to point at her and snap my fingers when I trained her on "no biting" to make sure I got her attention.
