Puppy/biting

Question
I have a purebred Siberian Husky  she is just a little over 3 months and she will not stop biting. She is not doing it aggressively but to play. We have tried to put her in her crate right after she did it for a min and if she did it again we put her right back for another minute and that has not worked. We have tried ignoring her after she does it. We have also tried no and walking away, but the second you try to play with her again all she wants to do is play with her mouth. Do you have any suggestions in how to stop her from biting when she plays?

Hello Jenna!

Remember consistency is key.  Also, be sure she has chew toys that she can chew on.  Puppies need something to chew on when they are teething.  Good luck!
