Or you could carry a couple empty flimsy plastic food containers(like Chicken Salad from the deli comes in) or a couple of small lightweight magazines or comicbooks and drop those saying the word "no" as you do when she starts to bite. She won't like something falling on or near her even though a couple of those can't hurt her and she will skittle back away. Once there are some disliked consequences to her biting as you walk carrying something and it is no longer fun or rewarding for her, she will start to police herself and stop biting. Look for her pulling back on her own and not biting and that's when you praise and reward her. She will learn restraining herself keeps the papers from falling and gets praise and reward and prefer that.
