well she is 9months old now and doing sooo well with the biting
i think she was thinking she was the "alpha" in the house and wouldnt even let me turn her over on her back to rub her belly--- the vet said that was a sign that i needed to establish myself as the alpha
so to update everyone who helped me on this she is no longer biting (at least nothing worth mentioning) except when playing or feelin a lil neglected and trying to get my attention but its just a lil nipping not actual biting
its so reassuring that she isnt doing that behaviour anymore i was really concerned so thanks again everyone!
