Chloe is biting because this is normal puppy play behavior. Try to give her toys that she is allowed to chew on to redirect this behavior. Also, check out this fantastic veterinary behavior website for more detailed instruction on puppy play and biting behavior: www.dogstardaily.com. Hope that helps!
