Default German Sheperd Nipping at legs

Good morning all,

I recently adopted a 6 month old female German Shepherd and we (the
dog and my family) are adapting well to the change. She does have
this one annoying habit that I can only assume is a result of her
shepherding ancestry. Whenever my wife is walking, she follows behind
her and nips at her calves and ankles. She is not doing this to be
mean, but she is leaving some bruises. She also does this to my
sister-in-law whenever she comes over to visit. I can only assume she
is attempting to "herd" them. I am beginning basic obedience classes
this Saturday. Will that help? If not, what can I do to get her to
stop doing this? I do not want to give up on the dog, but if she
continues to hurt my wife, I don't know what else I can do.
Please email me with any help you can provide.

Thank you.

Blair Woodmansee
