put her in a chair and hold her there....if you have trouble keeping her in the chair...put her on your lap and in a bear hug so she can't run away....tell her that kicking the dog hurts the dog....tell her that when she bit you, it hurt....hold her in the bear hug until she is still...and then ask her if she wants a fresh start for today....if she won't calm down or starts kicking, biting, etc. Do the exact same thing again

we did this for kids in a daycare that I worked at that had emotional struggles

should add this is a technique I found successful, others might have different opinions
