Answer
Hello Shannon and Mortimor -  sure, I can help you.... As for the teething, he needs to learn bite inhabition... do a google search on this : teach a puppy bite inhabition....

NEXT - about the pee... When he is IN the house use a male belly band or male wrap.  Here is a link to one:  YOU can buy the female maxi pads and put them inside the male wrap.  When he is done going potty outside put the wrap on his penis... If he goes .... he will pee in the wrap...MOST boys don't like the WET feeling inside the wrap and will stop the pee...
Also, when you see him going pee ( in the house ) SAY no - even if he has the male wrap on...

I buy the more expensive wraps that are soften fabric...
This link is just an example of what you need.

Also, buy some of the Pee OFF spray - see here-
Boundary® Indoor/Outdoor for dogs
