You don't ignore her. First try yelping, and if that does not stop her, then give her a growl and a nip, just like her mother would do. Watch mother dogs with their bsbies, they don't allow the puppies to chew on them, and neither do the other puppies. If you want to communicatre with your dog, learn to speak their language. "NO Bite" is not part of their vocabulary.

Ignoring them just tells them that it's OK to do it.
