This is a thin line, because when she bites it's almost out of anger...she doesn't get the excited look but the "I'm going for the kill" look...sometimes I think she's evil lol.
Dogs operate on instinct - not emotion. Your puppy isn't angry - she's just being a puppy! [MENTION=4305]Vince00[/MENTION] is right: the key is consistency no matter what. When Bea was little, doing that "OW!" thing when she bit down, did not work at all. Like Spunky, it almost appears as though she enjoyed it more! (which is silly) The ignore worked best because what she wants is your full attention. Get mouthy and the fun stops, puppy!
Here's another anecdotal thing you may want to try: Bitter Apple spray. Spray it on your hands. It tastes terrible.
