Puppy problems?

My puppy is only 6wks old and she is playing but she keeps lunging for my hands when she is playing and its not like she's mad i can tell she's playing but it hurts. even though she's a baby her lil teeth are kinda sharp. how do i get her to stop?

Puppy problems?
I'm pasting my answer to another question just asked:





When she "play bites" too hard, say "Ouch!" or make some noise to let her know that that hurts, and get up and stop playing. Eventually she will learn to be gentle, or not to bite at all.





She should also have plenty of toys to chew on and play with. She'll start teething soon, so the chew toys are important.
Reply:Start teaching her the word no, and pull your hands to where she can not reach them. Do not give her any attention or laughter when she is attempting to get your hands.
Reply:treat her as you would a child. make sure (gently) that she knows this is not okay playtime behavior. when she does it dont yell just firmly say no and move your hand away from her.
Reply:smack it around.
Reply:You copied my question.
Reply:go to petsmart and get "bad apple" spray it tastes really bad to the puppy but doesn't effect her health so she wont put her mouth on your hands!
Reply:What kind of breeder lets their pups leave at 6 weeks? Tell her NO and stop play time for 15 min. It's like a puppy time out. But, remember, puppies play bite, you have to set boundaries for what is acceptable or not.
