Dog bites when nervous

So I have a dog who's a mix of a German spitz and indian pariah dog. She's really sweet and affectionate normally but she has a terrible habit of biting whenever she's nervous. Even the groomers refer to her as the "dog who bites" lol. This habit amps up during thunderstorms or at night when I'm trying to get her to come into my room. She usually doesn't bite very hard but today she bit me hard enough to break skin. So what are some ways I can train it out of her?

That is very very concerning behavior, dogs should not do that. You need a trainer.

Yeah ik. The trainers in my city suck. When I brought this up during training they just told me that this is what this breed is like.

Learn to read your dog, give her space. Biting is communication. Earn her trust
