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.

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)
