To stop your puppy nipping you.... The minute she does it squeal really high pitched and stand up and turn your back on her.
Ignore her behaviour and she will soon catch on.
When in the litter their mothers does this to teach them manners.
So you are just acting like mother teaching her litter to behave.

Puppy nipping by: Anonymous

After a few weeks he grew out of it.

nipping by: June
My ESS, Emma, started nipping as a pup. She is 18 mos. now. Like you said, it wasn't malicious; just playful. I finally started taking my fingers and putting her lip into her mouth as she bit...biting herself. She quickly realized that was not the thing to do. Solved our problem.
