Poop too soft to pick up? May bite if she is picked up?
1. Suggest you need to pick up her poop. You earlier wrote that vet had said her poop ("always wet") was normal. In my experience, "wet" is different than too soft to pick up. Except for bouts of diarrhea, I don't recall a time when my sweetie's business was difficult to pick up--even then, I managed to pick it up and dispose of the waste.
Pick up the poop and keep the area where you walk her clean.
2. Biting?
I don't think it is normal for a dog to bite someone who loves them and treats them well. While it might be a behavior/training issue, it well might be a health issue. OR ... it could be a combination of both as it doesn't sound like this came on suddenly.
I would take the dog to the vet and have her checked out. (Bring that day's stool sample with you.) If the vet you normally see won't help you with these issues, find a vet who will.

I'm sure there are many, many other good references about this on the internet, but I'd start with the vet.
