This is what I have done with my new little girl, Jazzi. When ever I feel her teeth on me (I want her to be aware of what she's doing when she's near me or the kids) I let out a loud, shrill yelp. She'll stop and look at me. Sometimes she'll try it again and I always respond the same way.
Another thing that has helped me, and she is much calmer now with me, is when I go to give her her food I hold my hand down and prevent her from getting any. This is showing her that I am head dog and tells her that I need respect. I hold my hand down there until she sits down or shows submission to me. I was having trouble with her snapping at me and that has now quit. She's been doing so much better since I've done that. Good Luck!!
