Hi and welcome to YT! I understand completely. Our Princess Sophie is an ankle and finger biter too! LOL Yes literally! Her bites are not hard, when she had her baby teeth the bites were really painful. They are such scoundrels!!
What we are doing is that when she starts to bite, we tell her "no bite" and stick a toy in her mouth. I make sure to hold on to one of her chewy Nylabones, she has several, and she really likes to chew on them so they work really well. She has slowed way down on her ankle biting lately and I think it's because when she has done it, it really startles me and I jump and scream and I think that kind of scares her too. LOL Serves her right. Little bugger!!
The key to this training is to be consistent. We need to do the exact same thing every time or the pups just get confused.
Give it a try and let us know how things are going.
