how old is the puppy? Usually by 6 months when they have almost all their adult teeth the puppy biting stage stops.
I read that you should never leave a bunch of her toys out on the floor because they should always come from your hands so she only associates your hands with good things. Maybe try a treat in one hand when you pick her up too.

Well if your puppy is under 6 moths then it will be teething but you can still avoid this by making sure you always give the dog better options of things to chew. When your puppy bites you you should always say ouch and turn your back on her because this is how they learn what is right and wrong. Also if you got her from a pet shop or a puppy mill the dog may have been mis treated and is scared of humans and that might be why she wont let you touch her.

First of all, you need to show her that you are the dominant creature in your household. You have to make sure your puppy knows that. About the biting, tell her to stop, take her jaws off of you, and tell her no. Don't hit her or hurt her in any way. Try to give her a toy to chew on instead of you, and right away or the problem will only get worse. When you pick her, be very gentle and assertive. Continue to show her that you are the alpha dog. When you pet her, again, just be gentle and don't hurt her. I know that it can be very frustrating. If she gets to be too obnoxious and you just can't deal with it, take her outside and leave her out there for awhile as long as it's not too cold and she can't escape or anything. Good luck and I hope this helps!

You don't say how old your puppy is, but biting or "teething" is natural. If that's the case, by all means don't let her get away with biting you, but be sure to supply her with plenty of chew toys.
If she's biting you out of aggression or because she doesn't like being handled, then you've got a bit of work cut out for you. What I've always found effective is popping the dog on the nose and firmly saying "no." And keep in mind that when training any dog, you've got to be repetitive. Best of luck. =)

If this is a new behavior - take her to the vet for a check up. Make sure that she is not acting out because of a physical problem.
Enrolling in a puppy school can help too. You will learn how to teach her basic commands and it will help socialize her. You will also be able ask the trainer about situations like this. I took mine to PetSmart for puppy school.

Whenever she makes an aggressive action roll her on her back and expose her stomach while standing over her. Doing so puts her in a submissive position and will teach that she should be submissive. Make sure that you assert yourself as the dominant one. Also, use words other than "no." I've had dogs that start to ignore it. So sometimes I'll yell "Hey!" or just make a yelping noise. Don't act afraid of her either. All that does is show her she is the dominant member of the pack.

My puppy (as seen at the left) had a puppy nipping problem. He is very rambuntious when he is playing and sometimes he forgets that humans are not chew toys. My lil guy nipped me once. I grabbed him around the mouth and held it closed. Not with a vice grip, just enough to keep it closed for 2 seconds. And while I had his mouth closed, I looked him straight in the eye and firmly, calmly, said 'no'. He never did it to me again. As a matter of fact he never did it to a human again. This may or may not work for you but I had success with it.

Some puppies have the natural instinct to bite. It is because they feel insecure or in a process of adjusting. They are just protecting themselves from any harm. My advise is to avoid petting her. Instead, reward her with a food or toys. Do that until she'll get used to it. After that, you can start to pet her.
