Hey, my puppy is still biting until now I have tried to tell her this hurt "ouch" but she still bite specially in any trousers we wear or if we are wearing shorts she bite our leg.. I have also get her a toy so she can bite it but still she bite us. also she bite any shoes we have. I'm just afraid that this habit will continue with her. Is there anything I can do?

Biting is very normal for puppies but it should be addressed. You are on the right tract with saying Ouch but then you need to get up and ignore her and keep walking away from her until she stop biting. At that moment you turn around and CALMLY reward her and hand her something more appropriate to play with. This will take time and consistency.
