She's still an infant and I would just allow her to be one. When she's older and bites too hard, you can just say "uh oh" and push the hand or fingers she is biting on back into her mouth and take her control of the biting away from her and she won't like it that she can't end the bite herself when she's ready. She will soon learn that hard biting will elicit this unpleasant session and eventually stop it. Others will thump the dog on the nose(not too hard I hope) or get up and leave the room, ending the play session abruptly. I don't like the thumping or having to get up and leave or remove the dog from the room so I just push my hand or fingers gently back into the mouth a bit and hold them there until the dog begins to turn away or struggle to end the biting quite willingly now. I don't mind mouthing and soft biting(which Tibbe LOVES to do when hand-fighting and playing with me) but just taught Tibbe and previous dogs that hard biting was a no-no. As dogs don't have arms or hands to hold and hug with and show passion with, they often show their passion or excitement in a bite so I let them soft bite during play.
