even try a shock collar along with voice command when she starts it.. have a rolled up paper ready crack her when she is coming at you to bite you're leg hollar yell chase her let her grobble to come back into you're pack.. might sound mean but sometimes too much niceness with a little one is not the answer,!!,they are so smart they will take advantage of you.. put a muzzle on her for a while when she starts it..
dont let her be a terror,, knock her down to ehere she needs to be..

I'm sure others will chime in, but I could not disagree more with your breeder's responses (snipped above) to your valid and common concerns. First, your puppy is only 14 weeks old. This is the time to establish trust with her, not "scare the jeebies out of her."
I would focus on positive reinforcement and would forego using a shock collar, rolled up newspaper, muzzle, etc. This breeder sounds really old school and I think if you read through some other threads, you'll find the concerns you're having are common in puppies.
