That is exactly what puppies do. First you need to puppy proof your home. If you remove the paper she will tear up ur furniture. That's what my puppy did. Give her some chew toys such as stuff animals. Never give her rubberbands although they love it because she'll just swallow it. Something she can't swallow but her mouth can still grasp on. And whenever you catch her doing something you don't like, make sure you tell her no. That's very important. Good luck with you ur new baby. Your not suppose to take ur puppy anywhere at three months, so don't listen to the person on top. Wait till 6 months so your puppy has enough immunity to everything, or at least wait till her 3rd booster shot, then check w/ your local Petsmart.

Try wetting and freezing a washcloth and give this to her/him after it is frozen. The cold relieves the pain of growing puppy teeth. Make sure the wash cloth is new and does not have any soap or chemicals on it! Also try buying her a one of the "nylabone" bones at your petstore. "Nylabone" is the brand name and they make chew bones for teething puppies.
Other than that, make sure anything you do not want your puppy to chew is put out of reach! My puppy once chewed the pointy toe tip off an expensive pair of leather boots I had and I almost walked outside like that!
Above all, remember not to get mad at your puppy, he/she is just growing up and raising a puppy IS a responsibility. He WILL grow out of this phase soon and then you will miss those "cute puppy moments".
P.S. Make extra sure all electrical cords are safely out of puppy's way! Hope this helps!

Chewing is a perfectly normal behavior for dogs. Dogs love to chew on bones and sticks—and just about anything else available. They chew for fun, they chew for stimulation and exercise, and they chew to relieve anxiety.
But that’s not it on the list of destructive behaviors. Dogs also steal things off the counters and tabletops, and they raid the trash. Most dogs prefer human food to dog food and, if given the opportunity, will help themselves. While these behaviors are normal, dogs can, of course, be taught to control themselves. Understand that your dog needs to learn not to chew your things or steal your food—he’s not born knowing that he shouldn’t.
WHAT TO DO:
- Provide the dog with plenty of his own toys and chew bones; introduce something new every day or two.
- Give the dog a “single serving” chew bone once or twice a day—something he will finish in one chew session (i.e. Greenie, Dentabone, rawhide chip, etc.).
- Identify the times of the day when your dog is likely to chew, and give him a stuffed Kong, Goodie Ship, or Buster Cube at this time. You can include some of his daily ration of food in the toy.
- Discourage chewing inappropriate items with chewing deterrents, such as Bitter Apple or Chew Guard* (see below for application tips).
- Always supervise your dog. If you see him licking or chewing an item he shouldn’t, say “uh uh,” remove the item from his mouth and insert something that he can chew. Be sure to praise him.
- Booby-trap the counters and tables to discourage the dog from jumping up. You can try double-sided sticky tape, cookie sheets placed precariously so they fall down if the dog touches them and a pyramid of empty soda cans all tied together and placed so that they fall if the dog touches them (you can tie to a small tidbit of food to this contraption).You can also place “baits” to be stolen: food adulterated with bad-tasting substances, such as Tabasco or Bitter Apple.
WHAT NOT TO DO:
- Do not show the dog the damage and spank, scold, or punish him after the fact.
- There are dog training books still being published today that advocate dangerous and inhumane techniques, such as using duct tape to hold a dog’s mouth closed around a chewed object, or filling a hole with water and holding a dog’s head under. Just in case it’s not obvious—methods such as these are ineffective and horribly cruel!
- Do not crate the dog for lengthy periods of time to prevent destructive chewing.
* Using taste deterrents: When you first use the deterrent, apply a small amount to a piece of tissue or cotton wool. Place it directly into the dog’s mouth, allow him to taste it and then spit it out. The dog has learned the link between the taste and the odor of the substance and will be more likely to avoid chewing items that smell like the substance. Re-apply the deterrent to the off-limits objects every day for 2-4 weeks.
You can give her ice. It will help her lose her teeth, but numb them until then so they don't hurt as badly.

Buy this toy called Kong. It's something like a three tiered ball that bounces in every direction and they claim is pretty much indestructible. And some the pet a little xtra attention.

Puppies chew everying, period, end of story. Make sure there are plenty of chew toys around for her to chew, put away things that you don't want torn up, and maybe invest in some bitter apple spray for furniture and electronic cords that you can't move.

i have had the same problem with my dogs. to them it's just a game or they want your attention. the best way to stop them is to buy a bone when they chew that you show them attention. when they chew something else you take it off them then walk away. if you yell at them they think it's another way of getting your attention. when i train dogs to work i use a electric collar. when they do wrong i zap them. you can use a stick every time they do wrong you hit the ground near them. make sure you pat them and tell them their good when they behave. if u need more info go to www.workingdogs.com.au
