ok there are a couple ways to handle the jumping. first you can keep her on the leash and have someone walk by to see if shell jump up. as soon as she does give a hard tug on the leash to bring her down and make her sit. another thing to do ( might sound mean to some but it works) when she jumps on you, step on her toes or bump her in the chest with your knee as shell associate uncomfortableness with jumping. same thing with the biting, when she bites you grab her mouth and cause uncomfortablness. never put your dog in their crate as a punishment like someone said earlier. if you put them in a crate as punishment, then they think your punishing them when you go to work or leave the house. the crate is suppose to be a place for them to relax and be happy.

Do not look her in the eyes. Do not speak to her. Do not touch her. Do not allow anyone else to do the above when she jumps. All these actions are giving her what she wants and are training her to jump. The same applies to play biting (its the way puppies play with each other so, to them, all is well). Turn and walk away. If you are about to do something and you know the pup will jump, put her in a crate before she has a chance. In time she will learn that her actions do not result in attention. When YOU want to give her attention (or a treat, etc), make her do something first (teach the down, sit, etc) then heap attention on her when she complies. This is generally referred to as "no free meals". Good luck. You are not training her not to jump but instead are retraining her (the habit sounds established) and that is always more time consuming and difficult. Don't give up; she will learn.

Stop the action
Dr. McConnell also suggests that, in some cases, just immediately (and dramatically) leave the room when the puppy bites. This is certainly a method children can use. After multiple times, the puppy will learn that every time she bites she loses her playmate, and that is no fun at all.
Important prevention measures!
No matter what method you use, do not entice the puppy to bite you. Games like tug-of-war and waving your hands in front of the puppy instead of using toys may encourage the puppy to bite.

They are still teething at that age, and they need to chew on something. Try getting one of your old socks and tying it up in a knot and she will bite on that and you can gently wrestle it with her. And when you say NO! say it like you mean it. And just be consistent.

Take her to puppy training classes. That way you can learn how to get her to do what you want her to do without hurting her and she can learn what you want from her. they have puppy training classes at most big pet stores. Good luck!
