What advice can you give when training a golden retriever puppy not to bite?

My husband and I have a 9 week old golden retriever puppy who is into biting everyone and everything. She has plenty of toys to play with but prefers to bite us! Her teeth are so sharp that she draws blood. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks :)

    Method 1;
    Say NO firmly and Stop playing-IMMEDIATLY when she lets go-Reward her with a chew toy. i myself found this the best method!

    Method 2; If this doesn't work, try a spray bottle filled with water-again Say NO firmly as you give her a SQUIRT.

    Method 3;
    Another thing you can do is YELP LOUDLY-like a mother to her puppies when one of her puppies is misbehaving.

    Consistentent is the best method

    NEVER use your hands to play with her this just encourages her.
    NEVER hit the dog, This also encourages biting.
