As stated twice. I too grabbed the snout hard and said "NO bite" hold on for a bit to make sure the dog knows your not going to accept that. Make sure there's lots of things for her to exercise her teeth on.

My trainer always frowned on any shock collar on any pup under 6 months.
I will echo a couple of earlier posts. First establish Alpha role, this can be done without beating or E-collar. Secondly firmly announce NO or similar command.
My personal way to deal with puppy biting was command no and hold the dog's tongue down with my thumb as my hand is firmly holding lower jaw. This was uncomfortable for puppy and solved problem pretty quick.
Finally before its too late get a book or DVD or some type of plan and stick to it. I used with great success the methods of Wolters's "Gun Dog" or "Water Dog" for all my retrievers
Guys will argue best technique or training methods like politics. I believe pick a system and stick to it, consistency is more important than specific technique.
What has work for me is a stern no and grabbing the dogs mouth and making the dog bite its own lips. I would go as far as making the dog yulp. It only took a few times for my dogs.
Nothing but labs here - my little lady is 1 and was probably the worst biter I've had. She is an alpha, tough and the most athletic.
Needs to stop biting tonight.
Grab the top of that snout and with index and thumb and roll that upper lip over and on those sharp teeth and tell her NO!
No jumping up! Knee to the chest
No biting! Grab snout and don't let go until she knows you mean business!
A former poster here whom I corresponded with on dog training told me that the pup has to learn his place on the family totem pole and that place is below the humans, even the kids. It's a bit tough, but I think if you are firm and consistent that beauty will start to get the point.
