A couple of weeks ago I copped a couple of wayward Karma nips that resulted in my RHS index finger being opened up and bleeding in different spots and then a little later I also cut myself whilst opening a tin of dog food with the lid ( OUCH ! ) on my RHS little finger so i found myself with a right hand that was rather timid and sore. 
Anyway the show must go on so my natural instinct when Karma got playful and nippy became to saying LEAVE it whilst also automatically balling up or making a boxing fist with my right hand and turning/tucking it inward so she only had access to the top of my fist. I have been doing this for days now with the verbal command and it has now become my accidental LEAVE IT hand signal !
As soon as I do it Karma stops ! Yesterday she picked up a stuffed toy of my daughters and I shot her the "reverse cripple boxer " sign and she dropped the toy ! 
Anyways....at the very least it is a great way of avoiding losing a finger .Try it....you'll like it.
