OP this is a great video showing a good way to teach bite inhibition, all the Kikopup videos are great:

Abb123 what you are doing is teaching impulse control, which is great and exactly what you should do, I would not bother with saying no personally, just let her figure out that patience and self control gets her something, biting does not.
Spudlet is right, there are different ways of training your dog, whichever way you chose it should be humane and a method that your dog can understand what you are asking. If the dog enjoys the training he is much more likely to repeat the behaviour that you want, than if you force/coerce him into doing something.

), we have sort of sorted out the sleeping problem. We would have the cage in the sitting room during the day, and move it to the bedroom at night. Unfortunately, because he knew we were there he just wouldn't let up with the crying when he decided it was time to play. We now keep the cage in the sitting room over night, and leave our bedroom door open when we go to bed so we can hear him cry when he wants a wee/poo at 4.30 - 5am. We then put him back in his cage and go back to bed and shut the door. We have had a few good nights sleep, and he doesn't whine to get up in the morning, but is happy to wait for us
