she is also bad at feet, and i am a diabetic so I cant afford to get nicks on them. she is very affectionate the rest of the day but when she wants to play look out. I have tried the toys, kongs filled with peanut butter, frozen face cloths and being very repettitive with saying no. I have to find a solution because Ill never let her go, and life would be alot happier for both If this one habit was taken care of,

Well you better keep your shoes on. lol She needs to learn the word NO and that you mean it and make sure that if other people are playing with her that they also follow the rules.Your puppy will eventually figure out that it's OK to chew on her toys but not you.

Try getting some Bitter Apple or a similar bitter product and put it on your hands and feet. When she finds out you taste bad, she'll stop putting you in her mouth. You don't have to do this forever, just when you play with her for a few days; once she stops mouthing you, it shouldn't be hard to steer her onto other toys.

Every time she gets away with biting you, say NO loudly, and gently but firmly push her face away. Also, if you sense that she's about to nip you, catch her off guard by saying NO even before she does bite you, and glare at her. My chihuahua had the same problem when she was a puppy, but now she never bites =D
