Very good advice so far. I just wanted to add congratulations and don't worry too much. Puppies grow out of that as long as you don't reinforce the behavior by sticking your finger in her mouth or playing tug of war, etc. Max (my Yorkie) always wanted to nip too and one YTer told me to startle him by making a hissing sound and abruptlly placing 2 fingers behind his ear. As odd as it sounds, I tried it and it worked. Just do what works for your girl and you can always teach her to fetch to wear her out. Good luck!
