First yelp when she hurts you and move away from her.

To keep her away, don't push her away or she will think you are playing. snap at her and use your fingers to simulate a nip to the neck.
she will learn by using the "no bite" method also, but first she has to learn a new language. The words that you use are not important since they don't speak human. It's much easier to speak the them in their own language.
Be persistent and never encourage rough play. |
