When your puppy's chewing on a chair or something throw her a toy to play with or play with her,it also helps if you talk to her and tell her not to do that.If she pees on the floor clean it up and spray some air freshener on it!But if you want to prevent her from having"accidents" in the house watch for signs that show that she needs to"go",like:sniffing around her usual pee spots,whining,or circling around!I have a puppy too and he can be a handful,but he's worth cleaning up after :-)
I hope it works out!

How old is she? This is a common problem with puppies because they get bored EASILY and will find anything and everything to play with. This is especially true during teething because they have a literal need to chew to help teeth fall out so adult teeth can come in properly. The peeing on the floor sounds like she's not fully house broken. Crate training is best for that. Crates are also good for "time outs" for bad behaviors.

First of all how old is she and what type of puppy is she? My mother had a lab that had these same issues at first. She needs something to stimulate her physically and mentally to keep her occupied while you can't keep 24/7 watch over her. Is she in a crate or crate trained? This may be a good time to crate train her if you haven't already. Just remember that crates aren't a punishment or a negative stimulus. Other than that just keep her focused and devote time and attention solely to her daily and her rampage should start to lessen.

She is a puppy, that's what puppy's do....
Buy her some chewies so she don't chew your furniture,
keep your shoes put up out of the way.
Put down a lot of news papers so she don't pee all over the place. She will get use to going on the paper.
And ride it out, eventually she will grow out of it, but until then don't take it out on her, she is just doing what puppy's do best...
Good Luck !

Get this little one to the vets. There is something very wrong here! With her past abuse, she could be suffering from some kind of head trauma. The abusers could have locked her up alone for days as "PUNISHMENT" when you have a dog with problems like this investigate all the possibilities. But start with the vet and work gently thru this with the pup. She is an innocent that needs a lot of TLC! You have her now...make her the great dog that she was born to be.

This is completely normal puppy behavior. It sounds like you feel overwhelmed. Try going to a puppy class. It is never too early to start training-it's really for both dog and owner. I learned so much about dogs, dog behavior, and how my responses to certain behaviors actually made some issues worse! Please invest in classes for both you and your puppy's sanity. It will be worth every penny. Just remember too, to be fair and consistent. Good luck.

Having a trained dog isn’t the same as having a balanced dog, but if your dog knows a few basic commands, it can be helpful when tackling problem behaviors — existing ones or those that may develop in the future. Learn here https://tr.im/nycqQ
So where do you start with dog obedience training? You could take a class, but it’s not necessary; you can do it yourself. In fact, with the right attitude, it can be fun for both you and your dog!
Step 1 : Sit
This is one of the easiest dog obedience commands to teach, so it’s a good one to start with.
• Hold a treat close to your dog’s nose.
• Move your hand up, allowing his head to follow the treat and causing his bottom to lower.
• Once he’s in sitting position, say “Sit,” give him the treat, and share affection.
Repeat this sequence a few times every day until your dog has it mastered. Then ask your dog to sit before mealtime, when leaving for walks, and during other situations where you’d like him calm and seated.
Step 2 : Come
This command can help keep a dog out of trouble, bringing him back to you if you lose grip on the leash or accidentally leave the front door open.
• Put a leash and collar on your dog.
• Go down to his level and say, “Come,” while gently pulling on the leash.
• When he gets to you, reward him with affection and a treat.
Once he’s mastered it with the leash, remove it — and practice the command in a safe, enclosed area.
Step 3 : Down
This can be one of the more difficult commands in dog obedience training. Why? Because the position is a submissive posture. You can help by keeping training positive and relaxed, particularly with fearful or anxious dogs.
• Find a particularly good smelling treat, and hold it in your closed fist.
• Hold your hand up to your dog’s snout. When he sniffs it, move your hand to the floor, so he follows.
• Then slide your hand along the ground in front of him to encourage his body to follow his head.
• Once he’s in the down position, say “Down,” give him the treat, and share affection.
Repeat it every day. If your dog tries to sit up or lunges toward your hand, say “No” and take your hand away. Don’t push him into a down position, and encourage every step your dog takes toward the right position. After all, he’s working hard to figure it out!

She's not a problem puppy, she's a puppy. Full stop.
Take her to puppy classes and obedience classes, she needs training.

I work at a petshop and I can honestly say this is an easy matter to solve. You can put a fine line of chili-powder on whatever shes chewing on. Or instead you can follow around her and when she starts you replace that and put a toy in her mouth so she begins to remember instead of chewing on furnature or w.e. she'll go to the toy instead

i have a newfoundlander and when she was a puppy she was a holy terror too. the best thing i can suggest is to confine her to the kitchen or laundry room or any room that has a linoleum floor and where she cant hurt herself and give her toys to play with.
