Yeah, puppies have to chew that's there way or breaking in the teeth, so there not going to stop if anything it will get much worse, get her lots of chew toy's and rawhide, things they can chew on so he or she don't chew on your things like shoes..... panties, and anything you love that they can get there lil paws on, keep a eye on him... good luck

Everyone gave you really good answers. Scold the puppy when it bites and ignore it for awhile. Make sure is has plenty of bones and toys. Make sure you keep your clothes/shoes etc. off the floor. I have a 4 month old puppy and he is such a thief :P

She needs training. Puppies bite as part of play they learn this from birth. They learn how hard to bite by mouthing with siblings. I have some training tips to stop puppy biting on my website burdicklabradors.com helpful hints page under training.

When the puppy bites, in a deep gruffy voice to simulate growling from the mother, say no! Also by grabbing them by the back of the neck and saying no in a deep voice will also simulate mother.

If she is a puppy, the biting may be teething. Tell her no when she bites your hand, then ignore her for a minute. Then offer her a chewy toy for her teeth.

provide it with lots of chew toys. That will keep it from chewing on everything in the house. Right now it's probably teething so that is the reason for it.

You could try (if you haven't already) getting her chew toys, raw hides. Maybe if she has "something" other than you, to chew on maybe she'll stop. Puppies and dogs need things to chew on, ok, some of them do. I notice for my dogs if I don't give them chew toys they get their own (shoes, etc.) :)
Good Luck!

shes probably teething. Get a chew toy, wet it, and freeze it. They love to chew on it and it numbs the pain. You could also do it with a wet rag. Hope that helps!
