It the puppies keeps biting, when she goes to bite your hand use your thumb and pointer finger and push her bottom lip on to her teeth and say no. Keep doing it everytime she tries to bite a soon it will stop. Don't push her lip down hard enough to hurt her, but just enough so she knows it's her own lip. Doing this will keep the puppy from biting down. I used this on my dog who is a malamute/Pitbull, 4 months old as well and it worked great. She stopped biting the 2nd day we had her and it's not been a problem since.
I also don't suggest the muzzle, it won't help any. It would just prolong the problem, plus it's very cruel to do such a thing to a young puppy who doesn't understand why. :wink:
