puppy biting feet

We were told by the vet nurse that if he starts to bite our feet, we should distract him with a noise or get a chew toy for him. As he is a westie, I have since discovered that loud noises have no effect on Terriers. The chew toy does work sometimes. We also read that we should stand still and then he'll stop doing it because we are not reacting or playing with him. It is when he gets incredibly hyper that he bites and will not stop from any of the measures described. We can't stand still because he will really bite hard which really really hurts! He shows no interest in chew toys when he is biting like that. Would his behaviour warrant a time out? How else can we cope? Oh and also, he doesn't take any notice of the word NO!
