    Hi @WINTER-MEGAN

    Amei,, welcome to the site.

    Puppy needs to be on a houseline. Encourage her away from your furniture and your limbs with a tug toy. The tug she can bite on. Play with her so the tug comes alive. If she bites you while playing with the tug toy, then the game stop. If she persists in biting you, then use houseline to place in a spare room or crate for time out.

    When she is not monitored then she should be in her crate.

    Please read the following article on crate training.

    Good luck.

    Hi Michael,
    Thank you for the tips, we are working early in the morning, so kind of feel guilty. I am\a very soft heart if the puppy crying on the cage..
    hope I we can train her and she will change.
    cheers.

    Hi Amei and welcome, my pup was the same and we put baby gates everywhere and when she chewed on furniture or on us, we calmly told her"no bites" and put her over the gate away from us for a few minutes. We had to have lots of patience but it paid off as she's now 8 months and doesn't chew or bite at all!

    Hope this helps, good luck
