She is about 8 months old and I have had her for about two weeks weeks now. Every time my girl gets near my hand she always either bites it or tries to bite. She always lets me pet her and is very calm otherwise but for some reason she always tries to bite my fingers out of nowhere. I wash my hands very thoroughly before holding her and even use hand sanitizer. She also has never tried to bite my husband. What can I do to discourage her from doing this? Should I let her bite until she realizes I’m not food?
