this is something that should've been taught when she was a puppy. I have done a lot of dog training, primarily for pure-bred competition dogs. Hopefully this will help you.

Teach your dog that biting hurts you. When she bites, give a sharp "no!" or "ouch!" - or even a yelp like a dog would make. This is the same reaction that your dog would get from another dog ifshe bit too hard during play. It teaches him thatshe's been too rough, and the odds are thatshe'll be more gentle next time.

Remove your hand slowly - don't jerk it away - and give your dog a toy that she can chew on without damage.

If your dog ignores your reaction and bites again, repeat your "no!," "ouch!" or yelp, and leave the room for a few minutes. Let your dog know that when she bites,she will lose his playmate. This, too, mirrors the reaction she would get from another dog if she played too roughly.

Be persistent in your training. As your dog's behavior improves and his bites are softer, continue to yelp or give a sharp "no!" or "ouch!" whenever she puts his teeth on you. Make it clear that all bites are painful and unacceptable to humans.

Reinforce your dog's good behavior. Whenever she licks you without using his teeth and whenevershe plays nicely and appropriately, give him plenty of praise.

You know what's funny. I wrote this thinking " I bet justin will know". You seem to know everything. Thanks. I will try your suggestions. It doesn't help that I have kids that run around like goofballs which provokes the poor dog.

I went home for my lunch hour and it already seems like it will work. We have always said no, but have never said ouch or acted like it hurt us. I did it when I got home and she stopped. She's a smart girl. She is trained to a certain extent. It is just the biting we have trouble with.
