Hi, Welcome to Just Answer. I'm Chris, a small animal Vet based in the UK. I am reviewing your question and will get back to you as soon as possible
If you turn you back and cease interaction with her, how long will she persist with biting/pulling on your clothes?
She is using the nipping to try and initiate play, you need her to learn that also play/excitement/contact ceases if she starts jumping up or nipping. As you have been doing ignoring her is the best response, anything else such as saying no etc is unlikely to help as she won't know the meaning of this. Once she learns that she doesn't get anything out of the behaviour then it will stop
Apologies for the delay, in my opinion ignoring is still the best way to approach this. If she isn't getting anything from her behaviour then she will stop, ensure that contact/fuss etc is only continued once she settles down and ceases to jump/nip etc
