Hi Karin,
Regarding biting. Tell her "no" in a firm
voice. I also say "ouch" and really draw out the ouch and take my hands
away. If she persists even after I've offered her a toy or chewie, I end
the game and walk away. You also might have to try to learn how to do a
"motherly" growl at her like her Mom would have done. Give her a firm
"erhhh" in a short half growl voice. Sometimes you have to experiment with
the pitch and tone of your voice. Sometimes it works with Dollar and
sometimes not. Also sometimes I have to put my hands over her muzzle
and tell her "no" until she stops. Always praise the pup for stopping
immediately.
