This is completely normal behavior. You can also try a Kong stuffed with cheese or peanut butter, it will keep her interested on that instead of other things. If she grabs something, offer her something more appealing instead of pulling it out of her mouth, that just creates a fun tug game for her and rips what she has. When she releases the item praise her and give her a treat or the more appealing item you have. Also, never chase her, that's another fun game. It sounds like she may need more exercise. She needs more to do. You can try Buster Cubes or Treat Sticks, that you fill with her kibble and she needs to figure how to get it out ( just watch her food intake, adjust her meals accordingly). The more exercise she gets the less mischief she will get in. A good dog is a tired dog. When she bites you, take it seriously. Say ouch! and leave the room and ignore her completely for a few minutes. Dogs need to be with the pack, so withdrawing your attention is a punishment to them. Make sure you praise her when she chews on appropriate items. It will take a little time and effort, but it should clear up with consistency. The two most important things to do from the start when getting a puppy: Be a benevolent pack leader Socialization You will have a wonderful companion if you apply these important things.

You have to show her that you are the alpha and she needs to obey but do not strike her, just be stern. If she chews on your things spray them with Bitter Apple. It's a spray you can buy at any pet supply store. It keeps them from wanting to chew on whatever you spray it on but it is harmless to the puppy. I used it with my Dashund when she was a puppy and it really worked.<br><b>References : </b><br> Be assertive with her, say "no bite", stop playing with her when she tries to bite.

Sternly and loudly if this doesn't work grab her mouth and hold it down. Dont hit her nose hard enough to hurt her, just hard enough to make her know what shes doing is wrong. Chewing is one of the hardest things to stop them from doing, so it might take awhile, but don't give up!
