Fill a water sprayer up, like for misting plants. Let your dog have it (spray the face) when she chews on the blanket. Oh, and act mad when doing it. use the words "you're going to get the bottle!" when spraying. After enough times she will associate the word 'bottle' with getting sprayed, so you'll just have to say the word and she will learn to stop.

Ultimately you need to catch the dog in the act and use basic obedience training to correct the problem. There are 8 million methods you can use. The easiest method is probably a “replacement” method. Tell her “NO” in a firm voice. Then give the dog something they are supposed to chew on…probably her FAVRORITE toy. She should get the hint pretty quickly. Be firm, fair, and constant. If that doesn’t work. Talk to a trainer at your local pet smart or your vet.
If this happens when are you not at home it is probably a form of separation anxiety. Again, 8 million alternatives for this one too.
An alternative might be "Chew Stop", "Bitter", or similar products can be purchased at you local pet store. Mention these two names and they can take you to a section full of products like this. This is often only temporary and this stuff doesn't smell the greatest. Usually they will just find something similar or a corner you didn’t spray. But it works with some animals. It is safe and non-toxic.
ALSO! Make sure none of her toys are similar material. i.e. if you let her chew on a sock she might think that chewing on cloth in general is OK.

Bummer chewing is frustrating!
Try a spray dog repellent from any pet store, until the habit is broken. Good Luck!

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tr.im/q7CMV
If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.
It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

some vets and pet stores carry a spray that has a bitter taste to it, it has no smell to it so you could spray it on anything you dont want the dog to chew. Good Luck :)

Giving your dog it's own comforter to make a bed may help. Best of luck .

Bitter apple works quite well. I had the same problems with my dogs and one taste of the stuff and they never touched it again. Whatever you do, please don't take poorgirl's advice. That is a terrible way to treat another living being and will teach your dog nothing more than to fear you. Anyone who would treat an animal this way should be slapped themself.

Tell her no.
When you are not with her kennel her.
One of our dogs would drag the couch to the door trying to take it outside (he is a big dog, English Mastiff). This was before I moved here, now that I keep a eye on him he no longer does this....
Do not think he even wants to anymore...
