First time owner puppy biting

I have also found yelping to send my already over excited puppies into even more of a frenzy, in raising 3 puppies I've only had it work for my first dog who rarely got super riled up and calmed down easier and it worked the least for the dog that came to me with no bite inhibiton (because of poor socialization due to illness in her first 8 months). My theory is that that method might work best for dogs who have already learned that kind of reaction from siblings, which this one will not have, and already have a steady excitement level, which this one also probably does not.

My first course of action is always to redirect with a toy. My command is usually "eh, eh, eh, No Bite" for nipping and "eh, eh, eh, No Chew" for chewing. The "eh, eh, eh" noise has worked well for me to snap the pup's attention back to me and usually is a noise that makes a puppy pause and puzzle about the what and the why of the noise.

If this has not been working after a week and the puppy has started breaking skin/leaving bruises/destroying things I usually revert to using a bad tasting spray as an aversive. The spray I use is called "Bitter Apple" (the original one with the green and yellow label). Unscrew the top and give them a little swipe across the mouth with the little straw thing and they get the idea pretty quick. Pair this with heavy praise for stopping the behavior as well as food rewards for behaving correctly. Again, I use this spray only as a last resort when redirection doesn't work and I would give it a minimum of a week or preferably 2 weeks before resorting to it. My reasoning for using it as a last resort is that I really would prefer the puppy puzzle through things, especially at this young age- I want them to think "she's telling me something- she's telling me she's unhappy- what am I doing that she doesn't like?- oh hey I think it's this biting thing, maybe if I try to do it softer- ok she doesn't mind if I nip like this but she does mind like this." I also tend to enjoy rough play and throwing my puppies around a bit (so long as they like it too, which not all do) so I don't actually mind light play nipping if the dog can learn to handle it (which not all dogs can), so I want to find a way to teach moderation vs extinguishing a natural behavior all together.
