That depends..if she is biting out of aggression, you need to put a stop to that right away as it can grow and become a real problem. My Princess Sophie still nips a bit when we play and she is teething also. I realize she is "nipping" out of excitement and not aggression as all I have to say is "No bite" and she stops. At first when we said this, she just got defiant and lunged at my fingers again. We started using a water filled squirt bottle and began giving her face a squirt when she started lunging, she quit that immediately and now just looks at my face as if to say "I don't want that squirt". Someone else here on YT recommended it, I'm afraid I can't remember who it was or I would certainly give them credit. It takes being consistant in what type of discipline you use. I think the squirt bottle is a good form of discipline for this. Good luck and let us all know how things progress!
