Yelp in a high pitched voice when she bites you too hard. I mean really yelp. This will let her know that she hurt you and she should back right off. Every single time she bites too hard do this. I could say OUCH in a high pitched voice with mine and they would understand, but just flat out making a yelping sound will get the message to her that she hurt you.

As she gets older you can tell her No Bite and she should understand. I have 2 puppies that are 10 months old and they would occasionally bite me too hard and I would yelp or say OUCH in a high pitched voice. They would stop immediately. Now, I just say Owe in a normal voice and my puppy knows he was too rough, but it is very rare he does that. My puppy loves to chew on my hand but doesn't leave a mark on me because he knows how much is too much. He just thinks I am his pacifier and will chew on me before he falls asleep sometimes.

Good luck with a pup that little. There are a lot of breeders who will dump young puppies likes. Obviously if you have had her the last 3 weeks she is doing well so you must be taking good care of her. This biting thing is going to go on for several months yet, so just hang in there and keep letting her know that it is too hard. I never once disciplined my pups for biting too hard, but then they never broke skin or anything like that. One time my puppy left a nice indent in my finger where he bit down too much, but did not break the skin. I just did the OUCH or yip sound and they quit and then would lick me to say sorry.

Enjoy her as she will bring you a lot of joy!
