Lock her every time she does it, plus show her your ankles...you have to show her your ankles every time she bites you and you have to punish her. (pretend you are crying)

Maybe have a fun toy in your hand when she goes for your ankles. And get just as excited as she it about biting your ankles. Let her know that she can nip and bite at this new toy and not your ankles and just how much fun it is!
Something like a stuffed animal?
Sounds like she loves you dearly, just doesn't quite know how to show it with all the excitement that she has inside her.
Have fun with your furry kid. Sounds like you really love her too. ~wink~
Oh ya, please don't use a spray bottle. Just imagine if you got squirted in the face for things that you had no idea what you were doing wrong. Especially by the person you love and adore. hmm
good luck... ;0)

Start carrying a squirt gun and place them around house. Squirt dog with water when they bite ankles. Or pour some popcorn kernels into a soda can and tape over hole. Shake it loudly and say NO when they bite your ankle. Or start wearing boots? hehe
You could try a dog whispering technique. When your dog is doing something naughty,you use your hand to push the dog over onto its back, into the submissive position. Your hand needs to be shaped as if you are holding a large grapefruit in it. Your fingers splayed out, representing your teeth, and pushing dog over onto its back sends the dog into pack mentality state,. With you standing above it, looking at it while holding it down, you become alpha. Let it back up and then the first good thing the dog does, even if its just walking over to get water, reward them graciously. Repeat as often as it takes for your dog to get the message you are alpha.

I know this may sound odd and mean, but tabasco sauce goes a long way, just put a few drops and rub around your ankles and when she comes up to bite them, she won't like it at all. If that don't work, try laying some chew toys in her doggie bed, and see if she will take intrest in those, and not your ankles.

to get my dogs to stop doing something i clap my hands really loud and yell with a lot of authority in my voice. I give a firm slap on their bum or i will squirt them with a water bottle. dogs learn best when they r told whos boss, and they r going to assume they r the boss of u until u let them know otherwise! gl2u! hope ur ankles feel better asap!

My Brother has a Siberian Husky, and he had a thing for biting me as well.. UNtil.. I bit him back.. Try nipping her ear, sounds gross, and weird, but if you do it immediatly after she bites you, she might get the picture. I know the Siberian Did..
Best of Luck to ya.

Spray some of that bitter apple on your ankles...or tobasco sauce. Maybe she will get the hint.
