If you are playing with her and she continuously bites at your hand (or wherever) get up and walk away. Don't say anything. Don't look at her. Don't trade her toys. Just get up and walk away. You may very well be telling her "no" but all she understands is the attention she's getting. You are playing with her, even if you are yelling and screaming at her (as an example). So of course she'll continue it. Get up and walk away.
I would also suggest an alpha roll. She thinks she is in control of you. And that's something you need to nip in the bud now before it gets out of control. If you get up and walk away and she follows you with the same nippy attitude, grab her (roughly without causing pain), roll her to her back and stare her down. DO NOT look away. Make eye-to-eye contact, while you're holding her down. Don't allow her to get up. Once she looks away from you (breaks eye contact) then let go. AND WALK AWAY. Then try to play again another time (don't wait several days, try a few minutes or so).
Eventually she'll stop. She needs to understand YOU are in control of her, not the other way around.
Good luck!!!

Say no in a semi loud stern voice and the put the puppy down on the floor your going to have to do this numerous times but she will get the message. Good Luck this is what worked for me.

Don't yell or say things loudly at your dog because it could frighten your dog or in your case your dog thinks you are growling at her. Just say things quietly but firm and calm. When she bites give a loud over-reacting girlish "Ouch!". And gently push the puppy away. Praise if she stops and give a treat. Keep on saying ouch and pushing her away if she continues.
Hope this helps!

well my aunt watched the dog whisperer and said that she just had to assert herself and become the dominant whatever. don't go by them just trying to please you. next time, push her to the ground, don't pay quite as much attention to her (but seriously shes just a puppy and needs a lot of attention. small things would probably be best till she gets a little older) and really make sure she knows who is boss. i've seen the effects of this and it seriously works. don't be afriad to be a little aggressive-puppies are generally very resilient just make sure you're not hurting her...only use enough force to make sure you got the message across. this should work.

Puppies will be puppies and this is a puppy characteristic.

wat u can do is slap her on the nose and say no. or u could hold her nose and say no. she will eventually know that u r on playing around anymore, and then she should be better after awhile
