You have to discipline her. Even though she has all of her adult teeth, she may still enjoy chewing on things. Give her a few chew toys and encourage her to play with those. When you catch her chewing on something she shouldn't be, take it away from her and say "No!" firmly. Then put her in a room by herself where she won't chew on anything (a bathroom?) for about a minute as a sort of time out. Then offer her one of her chew toys, or even better, a few and let her choose. Praise her when she plays with one of her toys. Good luck!

I am babysitting a 16 week old yorkie puppy for the weekend and he's the same way. He destroys EVERYTHING! I found out that he hates it when I grab his nose so this is what I use to discipline him. I hold his nose for a few seconds until I have his undivided attention (when he's calmed down) and I say, "NO!!" very firmly. After doing that a few times, he stops whatever he's doing.

she is still a puppy that is first and she has all of her adult teeth so she wants to try them out on things.get her a bunchpf bones and show her the mess she made then yell at her. i know yelling at her doesn't seem like the best thing to do but she needs to be punished when she does something bad. bones and chewtoys will help because she will have something that she is aloud to chew on.

My dog was just like this. I was going crazy. She would literally chew the walls and the carpet. I was frustrated. However, she is 2-years-old now and she's very good. So, my only suggestion is to keep her in one room or a cage when you are away and when she gets older she will calm down.

That sounds like pretty typical teen age doggie behavior. Obediance training will help. So will lots of appropriat toys and excercise.
