Danda was very reserved and quiet during her first day with us. I've noticed that when we left her alone (in a cage, so, she won't run around the house), she cried. Whimpering sounds and soft barks. At night time, she slept in my room, under my bed in a soft cotton rug.
The next day, Danda's more active, energetic, and playful. We ran around the house (she loved chasing a piece of cloth that I was carrying).
Her teeth started itching, they're coming out, and she kept trying to softly bite my shirt and my finger, which is a big NO NO. I'd hold her mouth shut and say a firm NO.
Danda moved on to slippers, chairs, and tables. As I catch her in the act, I would hold her on the shoulders and say a firm NO.

Finally, I got her toys to chew on. I got her some balls and baby teether. You can also give your old pair of slippers. If you buy toys, make sure they're not toxic as your dog might eat some bits and pieces.
Danda's Chew Toys
You could also buy edible dog teether, dog treats that are big and hard. Dog shops sell bone-like teethers which are safe for pups/dogs.
Don't give pork/chicken bones to your dog, they might choke or their stomachs could get pierced by bone fragments.

* NEVER spank or hurt your puppy. Only reprimand them when you catch them in the act, otherwise, they won't know why you are reprimanding them.
If you say NO, and, your puppy stops biting/chewing on things, say GOOD, then give them a treat. I usually give doggie biscuits, bananas, or sky flakes. For every GOOD deed, give a small piece of treat. If you use a banana, cut it in pieces, give a teaspoon size for every GOOD reward treat. If you use biscuits, cut it in small pieces as well.
Use
a firm medium loud voice to say NO. The best way to train/discipline your puppy/dog is through reward system and voice commands.
You need to watch your puppy during their teething stage or your beautiful sofa and cabinets would have bite marks. Hide your shoes and slippers from the puppy’s reach. You might need to leash or cage them initially if you need to leave them on their own. When their teeth become fully developed, the itching stops, your dog won't be eager to bite/chew on things anymore.
