I'm having a problem with a 10 week old puppy that bites alot.

I'd find a nice puppy training class where gentle methods are used &
sign up! I'd also do a Google "groups" search, like
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=pu...O-8859-1&hl=en
and see what people had suggested.

It's a pretty common thing for puppies to explore with their mouths and
they don't yet know what is ok to chew & what is not. It's your job to
find safe puppy chew toys that don't include you or your belongings!

I'm having a problem with a 10 week old puppy that bites
alot. If I try to pet her she bites my hands. If I pick her
up she's always trying to bite me.

She's very young, and using the only method of playing that she
knows.

Those puppy teeth are
sharp. I thought it was normal for puppies to bite but this
pup seems to take it to extremes and I getting worried. I
tried all the redirection tricks and nothing seems to work.

It sounds like you're doing ok. Give it more time and more
patience - all too soon, you'll be missing the puppy times.

Be patient and consistent. She'll get it eventually.

My hands and pants legs can't take much more. Any help is greatly
appreciated
