Pomerainian Puppy Question

I'm trying to train my 11 week old puppy to not bite me. I know it's teething, I gave it teething toys and foods too for it. Is it bad for me to give it a timeout spot as a form of saying "no" to place boundaries? Just looking for a way to train it early.

We used to replace the thing they were chewing with something else. For example, if they went to chew on our arm we would put their paw in their mouth instead. Or if they were chewing on the legs of our table we would replace it with chew toys etc.

A good way to teach puppies not to bite is when they bite too hard say OW high pitched and loud and then ignore them totally or walk away for a minute/stop playing.

You can also redirect by teaching the command "Toy!" And give them a toy and play with them with it or give a treat. Then if they bite you you can tell them toy and they'll bring you a toy to play with instead. Using a combo of these techniques is best! (I have trained many puppies lol)
I think its just a teething stage.. they get over it just don't leave anything in their reach that you don't want destroyed (phone cords, shoes, whatever)
