Why-i think your dog may just be teething but you still need to let her know that you are the boss. get her lots of chew toys. since shes a puppy she likes to try to bite you(because she is most comfortable with you), and your clothes because they are there. also are you a child??? because a lot of puppies like to bite children because they think of you as their litter mates which they would play and bite all the time. how old was she when you got her? if she was under 8 weeks that is a reason she is doing this too. the mother would usually teach her not to bite her family up till 8 weeks.
Training-whenever she bites you pick him up just a few inches off the floor by the scruff of the neck, and move her a foot away from you. yell NO or OUCH in a very stern and deep voice. after you move her tell her to sit. then give her the nearest chew toy. if she doesn't stand up or bite you after a few seconds. tell her what a good girl shes being and pet her and praise her maybe even give her a treat. also if she takes the chew toy tell her shes a good girl. if you see her playing with a chew toy any time tell her shes a good girl.
Toys-Dingo Bones(teething dogs love them for there hard surface). freeze a wet rag in your freezer. then give it to her. she will love the cold surface on her new teeth. Kong-you fill them up with kibble and treats and the dogs go crazy for them. i sometimes put peanut butter in them too!!!
hope this helps and good luck to your doggie!!!!!!!

Well to be honest I think you have without knowing invited her to do so--by playing in a more ruff way with her--and your mom is probably more cuddly with her--so she sees you as a playmate--but when she bites you tell her NO in a stern tone--or say OW -that will startle her and then when she stops biting praise her--its also natural for puppies to bite--as they do that with their litter mates--they are just playing but unfortunately the needle sharp teeth do hurt--

Ok I read this in a dog book from the 1980's but it works. I've done it twice (Two different dogs!!!). Just a drop or two of lemon juice on your pups tongue right after your pup bites you. I remember in the book it said its just the same stuff they try to sell you in pets stores under the label bitter lemon or bitter apple.

Everytime you dog bites you that you don't like say a firm loud NO and if that doesn't work flick them on the nose when you say no just not to hard just enough to catch his/her attention.
