When Chloe was that age I would either say OUCH and then ignore her for a few Minutes. Or we would say NO BITE and redirect her with a toy to chew on. It depended on the circumstance of the bite. At this stage she is testing her limits and it's the natural way for puppies play with other puppies. I'm sure it is a game for her.

Don't use your hands as chew toys. Always praise her when she does what you want. When she is barking try saying HUSH - I don't know if it's the sound or what but it seems to work with Chloe.

We have had several good threads in the forum on puppy bites. I know there is a lot of good info there that I haven't thought to put here so you might check there too.
