Greggu's "ouch" and ignore technique is very good to train out of nipping, they do it for attention, so hopefully if ignored, quickly learn that nipping is not allowed! Pup will be teething as well, so find some safe puppy chew toys to help get little pup through this somewhat painful stage. If you are really lucky, you might find the odd puppy tooth, although I think they usually get swallowed!
Having a pup around is hard work, but so lovely. We got two Airedale puppies last time we had a small pup, they worked as a combined destruction unit, always in bother. We never use crates, so had a lot of "interesting" moments! Very hard to identify the exact culprit if you have more than one! Enjoy your new dog and treasure all the moments.
