For puppy bite training, is it okay to scream when they hurt you more severly? How can I get his trust back?

You're doing the right thing by screaming. Just do a little Yip! if he bites you too hard, or if you don't want him to bite you then do the yip every time. When they are with their brothers and sisters in a litter the puppies bite each other and if one bite is too hard, then the other puppy with do a little yip to let the other one know that it was too hard. Then eventually when he gets older and he bites you, you can do a little "ah-ah". It's short and gets right to the point. If you've ever seen Victoria Stilwell, she does this all the time. In one episode she gets to a dog that (also) bites a lot. Whenever he bit, she did the yip. Eventually the dog stopped biting. Also in a dog training cl I took the teacher/trainer told us a trick to get the leader position back. You flip the dog on his back and hold him like that until he calms down. When he's not squirming or anything let go and praise him a lot. This might help for when your puppy gets older. I hope I helped at least a little bit!
