When does she bite?

Does she bite when you play with her?

Does she bite when you approach her food?

Does she bite when you attempt to touch her in certain parts of her body, such as her tail?

Are you talking about play biting or aggressive biting?

A good method to stop biting would be to yelp at her when she nips at you. And then turn your back on her, or walk away, ignore her. She will learn that this behavior is not getting her any attention.

You can also substitute your hand for something more appropriate like a bone or a toy.
