Most likely that's just a playful thing that she will grow out of and learn not to do as you train her. Puppies tend to be really nippy, and I'm always happy when they grow out of that stage. Most of them will try to nip when they're in excited state (i.e. getting into something they shouldn't
) and you go to pick them up, but that shouldn't be mistaken for aggression. As they learn not to be nippy with people during play that will generally stop, plus they just tend to use their mouth less as they mature.
