This is an extremely annoying habit she has. Please tell me it's just a phase! It's stressing everybody out and we can't enjoy having her anymore (kinda) cause she doesn't understand when we tell her something is bad.
Since we have gotten her she has:
Chased out feet when we walk.
Bitten our noses, lips and hands.
Bitten and chewed practically anything that we're using.
Always thinks your playing when trying tactics for obedience.
Is ALWAYS persistant.

We have tried:
Locking her in a diff room for about 30 seconds.
Holding her mouth shut.
Tapping her on the nose.
Shouting at her.
Yelping when she playbites/chews.
Instead of scolding, simply transfering our hand with a toy.
Ignoring her.

None of these seem to work. It's like she wants to always be naughty. Don't get me wrong, she is a very clever puppy. She knows how to sit, stay and spin and we've only had her for about 3 weeks. She is just very, very persistant and seems to have selective hearing. Honestly, everyone is getting VERY annoyed..

Any ideas for a puppy born to be disobedient?
Any advice would be FANTASTIC.
