Darby may be going through a puppy phase where she is exploring boundaries. She could also be going through another growth spurt that can increase hunger. Make sure that you check her weight often (you can use a bathroom scale) and update her feeding amount based on the feeding recommendations on the dog food label. When she bites you, try to redirect her attention to appropriate toys. If you have a lot of toys available, she may be bored with them. You can place half of them in a cabinet and rotate them every week so she thinks they are new toys. You can also look for puzzle toys that you can put dog food or treats in, then she has to use her brain to figure out how to get the food out.
