Jack russle puppy

Question
Hello again,

I picked up my russle puppy 3 days ago and everything is going well with him and my lab exept that he chews on my blankets and bites my hands.... now I know this is normal for a puppy or so I've read but I have never had this problem as my lab was three months old when I got her and was really passive as she was underweight and over all not being well cared for by her breeder. So my questions are.....

What do I do when hes chewing my blankets or biting my hands?

Also how long does it take russles to reach adult size? will he be a lot bigger in a month or two?

Thank you for any help in advance.

WHEN HE CHEWS ON U OR ANYTHING HE SHOULD NO FIRMLY SCOLD WITH A LOUDER NO AND HAND HIM A TOY TO WORK ON.   KEEP A BOX OF TOYS IN THE SAME PLACE, THEN IT WILL KNOW WHERE THEY ARE AND TO PLAY WITH THOSE, NEVER LET A DOG OR PUP CHEW ON HUMAN FLEASH.
U WILL NOTICE ALOT OF DIFFERENCE IN THIS BREED THAN THE LAB FOR THEY ARE IN THE TERRIER GROUP AND REQUIRE TONS OF EXERCISE OR THEY CHEW ON EVERYTHING, THEY LIKE SOMETHING TO DO AND LEARN.  THEY ARE SMART, BUT HIGHLY AMBITIOUS.  YOU HAVE YOUR HANDS FULL WITH THIS BREED I MUST SAY.  I FOUND A GOOD SITE FOR U TO GO TO AND READ MORE ABOUT THE BREED THAN I KNOW MYSELF.  I ONLY KNOW PEOPLE THAT HAVE THEM AND HAVE OWNED BOSTONS, AIRDALES AND KNOW THE TERRIERS REQUIRE ALOT OF WORK AND ATTENTION MORE THAN OTHER BREEDS.  GET A KONG TOY AND FILL WITH CHEESE OR PEANUT BUTTER, FREEZE OVER NIGHT, THAT WILL KEEP IT BUSY FOR A WHILE.  THEY ARE HARD RUBBER TOYS WITH A HOLE IN THE MIDDLE, KEEP HARD TOYS LIKE NYLABONES FLAVORED IN THE BOX, GIVE A RAW BEEF SOUP BONE FOR A SPECIAL TREAT ONCE A WEEK, NOT TOO OFTEN FOR THE MARROW FAT MIGHT GIVE THE RUNS.  RAW BONES LAST A LONG LONG TIME.  MY SHEPHERDS LOVE THAT TREAT.
