I had to fight this battle with Missy too. I would say NO BITING, and then walk away and ignore her. It took me about 10 days to train her to stop. Then there was a period after she was trained, when she started doing it again. NO BITING wasn't working this time around, so I'd surprise spray her with a squirt bottle and say NO BITING. It worked well! The spray bottle surprised her and made her forget what she was doing. It only took about 2 days the second time around.
