    The key with any training is consistency, and time. If you do the same action every time, for a prolonged period of time (for arguments sake we’re talking 2 weeks not 2 days) then she’ll learn. You need to punish her for her actions. You need 2 clear elements, THIS action causes THIS consequence. Establish it, and DO NOT deviate from it, don’t water it down, don’t alter it in anyway. To do this will cause confusion and the clear link between cause and effect to be weakened (and so results are slower) or even made pointless (and won’t work at all). Can I suggest that the reason your water spraying, rolling over, saying “no” in the past hasn’t seemed to work is because you’ve either given in too soon, or you have ended up not being consistent. Now is the time to start it a fresh, with a new sense of clarity and purpose on your behalf and go into with one goal, that to train your dog how you want it to behave – NO SECOND PRIZES, NO FAILURE. What to do: Establish what is a bite and what is not (important for you so there’s a clear idea in your head to transmit to your dog). Nuzzeling, or noseing you – fine. The moment her teeth touch any part of you, THAT is a bite. Say in a loud (but not shouting) voice, NO. Take her outside your house (or room if you don’t have a garden) somewhere where she away from you, and leave her. Her punishment is to be deprived of your company. Leave her there for 2 minutes, then bring her in. Don’t make a fuss of her, don’t play with her, ignore her until she’s calmer. If you do stroke her, do it calmly, without any high praise. You want to avoid rewarding bad behaviour. The next time she bites, repeat this. Pretty soon your dog will understand the consequences of biting, she’ll put 2 and 2 together that when she bites, she has an unpleasant experience. BUT ONLY IF YOU ARE CONSISTENT
