I have tried and tried to break her. I have put her toys in her mouth, I have yelped like a pup would do and she continues to bite. What other way can I break her.
Glad to hear she is doing well, apart from the biting. You can also try saying "No bite" when you give her something else to put her teeth on. Always take your hands and feet away when she nips. Fold your arms over your chest.

Max nipped my toes in the morning when we first would get out of bed. If he wouldn't quit, I put him back in his xpen to settle down.

If he was nippy when we played, and he didn't listen to "no bite," I would get up and walk away. Withdrawing attention usually has a big impact.
