 Play biting
by: Missy's Mom

Whenever I feel teeth, either accidently or on purpose, I say "Unh Unh", and "No teeth". I stop all activity with the dog, and shun them ( no eye contact or attention ). They may try to grovel or act submissive in order to immediately regain your attention, but it is important the shunning last long enough that the dog understands the seriousness of the transgression.
Now my dogs freeze without correction if they accidently transgress with a person. I even use the "No teeth" command when Missy playbites her buddy Honey, and she immediately goes back to airbites.

When she starts to bite quit all play say no to her and walk away.
