Taking her to puppy classes. I also think that clicker training works wonders. Dogs will do anything for food, and clicker training with a treat helped my dog learn to go toilet outside.
You can always ask your vet as well.

You need to walk her often till she gets the idea.. the pet dept has a spray that must simulate some odor to give them the idea to go, we've used that ... started with paper training and then to get the dog out of the house to pee ... worked pretty good. Never put a dogs face into his urine or mess and yell .. it's a body function ... that would be like yelling at a baby for going to the bathroom, they're still learning when and where.
Biting is probably teething, don't yell since it's an normal natural behavior ... like babies find that pacifier to give them .. a good bone (my vet advised against rawhide for a few reasons ... it's hide ie leather and we don't want to encourage sneaker or favorite shoe chewing and some dogs dont gnaw they swallow large pieces and this can be harmful because they swell inside the dog, but that is personal choice) We bought hard rubber and the thick meat bones ... since it helps cut the gums better.
If the dog is kept in the kitchen while everyone is in the house then yes the dog will be all over for the few moments of freedom. Using the shaker can is a good idea ... or just lead her off the couch to the play area and get her more excited about being on the floor .. this means spending time in "their" area.
We also engaged in obedience training ... it's best to get professional advise on proper actions. Sometime we think we are communicating our thoughts but we tend to send mixed or wrong signals to the dog. A couple in our family had a dog that jumped as people walked in the door .. to not make the dog jump they would feed it bones endlessly ... dogs thinking cool if I jump I get bones !!! not really a good lesson learned there.
There's a pretty good book out about 10 bucks from walmart called DogSpeak it's got a lot of good tips advice and training methods you might want to check it out.

When your puppy bites you, make a high pitched yelp. A dog doesn't understand, "Ow!!! That hurt! No! Bad boy!", so you have to tell them that you got hurt by making a high pitche yelp. This is what he'd do if he got hurt, right? Then, cross your arms and walk out of the room without your dog. Having you in the room is a reward for your dog, and you leaving is like a punishment. Soon he'll understand that hey, maybe I shouldn't do that because I lose my reward of having her company! This biting thing may just be a phase. He could just be teething, but even still you need to teach your dog that biting you is NOT the solution. Leash training is really easy. My dog learned it in less than a week. Have your dog on your left or right side (I prefer the left), and just start walking. Each time he starts roaming off, say the side you want him to go to, so in my case it would be, "Left!" and SOFTLY pull him back to where you want him to walk. A you're walking, bend down and give him a Cheerio. Each walk, reduce the amount of Cheerios you give him, soon none at all. These are the methods that I used to train my puppy and that worked, so that's why I'm recommending them to you. I hope you have luck getting your puppy trained! Happy holidays!

Your puppy will gradually know were to pee. I suggest for at least a month (if possible) you take your dog out to pee every hour on the hour. Set an alarm if need be. When your puppy pees outside praise it and give it a treat.
Be very careful not to shout at your puppy at this age as they are in the fear state for eight months. Puppies can grow fearful (even Rottweillers) You must correct your puppy but be calm when you do it. As for the biting and chewing I suggest you don't worry to much - The puppy will grow out of it. When older I suggest you buy bones for the dog to chew on and doggy toys that have treats in them so that the dog does not chew your furniture etc. Stay calm, All the best.

My dad and mom ran a kennel for years and the best way figured out how to train puppies from going potty in the house jumping on stuff and tearing stuff up was to get a used aluminum can (coke, pepsi etc.) put a few pennies in side and tape the top of it so it is sealed shut again. When your puppy jumps chews or does something that she is not supposed to do u shake it and it scares the puppy. This prevented a lot of things happening when my parents ran their kennel. Good Luck. Also make sure that when she does something she is supposed to be doing (going potty outside etc). You praise her right after she gets done doing the good deed.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aL2Sk
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Try using a crate/kennel/cage. The kitchen is too big for her. She only needs enough room to stand/lay/sit/turn around. She should have a bed in the kennel (unless she is tearing it up) and not much more room than that. You need to give her a "bedroom" because they don't like to go to the bathroom on their beds. If she has too much room, you're giving her an "apartment" with a place to sleep, eat, and pee in separate areas. She should be in the kennel whenever not directly supervised and you are not available to take her out every 45-60 minutes. Do not leave food and water in the kennel as this will stimulate her to have to go. She should go outside as soon as she is done eating and every 45 mintues when she is out of the kennel. When you take her outside, take her to an acceptable area and use the same command every time (go potty, go pee, etc) and praise her when she goes to the bathroom. It may help to clean up her messes from inside and put them outside so she smells it out there and will know that is where it belongs. For the chewing, you need to buy her some almost indestructable toys like a kong. You may also think about getting her something that makes her think, like a toy that you put treats or food inside that she has to play with to get it out. That can help her be interested in her own things. Keep in mind not to let her chew on things that resemble things that are off limits like shoes or stuffed animals. Be careful of hard bones (nylabones) because they keep veterinary dentists in business when they break their teeth! When she is chewing on something she is not supposed to, tell her no, take it from her and replace it with one of her toys and praise her when she is chewing on her things. Also, keep the kong toy or whatever, in her kennel with her. She will get used to chewing on that and won't go for your things when she's out. To keep her off the couch, you can just tell her no, put her on the floor and make things fun for her down there. They also make scat mats that give them a light shock (like when you touch metal after walking across the carpet) when they jump on it. It sounds like at this point she should not be unsupervised when she's out of a kennel.

My brother has a Siberian Husky. He will be a year old in February. To this day, he still chews on things. The only thing you can do for that and get her/him chew toys. And as far as peeing on the floor, take her/him every half and hour or so so that he/she knows that she can and needs to go outside.

you don't need to pay for classes!
you ask her every 30 Min's or so "wanna go out-as you walk to the door"
take her out a couple of times, adding a "good girl" and a little treat or a snuggle.
she will soon learn this.
as for the biting- she is teething, get her some rawhide!
good luck

I suggest you try to "crate train" your puppy. You can get a relatively cheap dog crate/kennel/cage. It only needs (for a puppy) to be big enough for her to lie down sideways with relative comfort. If you get one that is just big enough for her, she will be reluctant to pee in her "living" area. Just take her outside frequently, and when you take her outside to go, try saying a phrase to her that sounds nice but firm, like "hurry up" or "do your business". If you do that every time you take her out to go, she will soon learn that phrase as a command to pee/poop. Then, in the future, you can take her outside and simply say your special phrase, and she will go on command. When she relieves herself outside, be sure to praise her profusely. Very helpful when you are hurrying in the morning to get ready for work.
Also, do not rub her nose in her pee or spank her. Completely unnecessary to do that in house breaking.
