Default Curbing Biting/Chasing Feet

Biting and Chasing people's feet is an issue that we dealt with for our male's entire life. I don't want that to happen with my new dog. It's aggressive, it puts the dog at risk for being stepped on, and it's unwanted behavior. I have a 10 1/2 week old puppy right now so I could use some advice on how to curb this behavior so she doesn't end up like my family's male. I want to do this right.

Right now I am saying "stop" in a firm and loud voice, then knocking and holding her on her side until she is submissive. Then I let her go and say good girl. Sometimes she goes on her way to another toy, but she often just goes back to my feet!

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
