Hay guys i have a question about training here. I know the normal means of training is basically reward good behaviour with treats and praise and bad behaviour with isolation or no reaction.my IRN sky will stand on my finger but when on my finger she bites my hand and she does all in her power to climb to my shoulder then once there she tries to bite my ear she has become very aggressive but it is more aggression the fear for those-of you who think its fear because she climbs up on me and then bites its not like I'm chasing her. So what i want to ask is if i carry on handling her and speaking to her and no treats or rewards will she bond with me and the biting stop or is she not aware of the affect her biting has and she is doing it because she sees it as the norm which in that case i will have to revert to normal training
 
How long have you been attempting to handle her? Did you start by feeding her treats out of your hands, then progress to petting her? Maybe try taking a couple steps back.
 
I wouldn't allow her on my shoulder at all and present the back of a hand to her every time she tries to bite.
