I think Dogsareme explained it well. I do prefer to allow gentle mouthing as opposed to no mouthing because you teach the dog bite inhibition that way. "OUCH!" (yelp) if there is any pressure, way before it actually hurts, but show her that gentle mouthing when invited is a play thing and OK. The second there's anything close to ouchie, end playtime, walk away for a few minutes and then try again. Be sure she has some good chew toys also. She'll learn as she grows.
