Completely normal.
Obedience class will help her settle down some.

Yes. While lots of dogs have got past this stage and have settled down, your dog may just be very hyper. Obedience classes can be relatively low-cost, especially if you are working with other people and other dogs. The classes can definately help the dog stop chewing on things she isn't supposed to.

yes this is very normal she is still a puppy and puppies to chew a lot of things but she colud also be bored my dog loves playing with balls and other dog toys, buy her a few dog toys, and also get that dog training spray it doesnt cost much, what it does, wherever your dog chews you spary it on the same plays as she chewed and the next time she goes to chew she will get a horrible taste in her mouth do it for a month or so and i bet you she would of stoped her chewing, it worked for my dog when she was a pup. she will be out of he chewing stage in a few months, hope this helps and good luck x

all dogs do things differently and have there own personalities.it might be fun to nibble on peoples hands for her like my dog enjoys sitting with her legs open on your feet even if your walking she will try and do it. if you want to stop her everytime she does it bang or make a loud noise and say no biting in a strong voice your dog will soon stop doing it. feel free to email me with anymore questions.

she is still quite young and is possibly teething, her lil teeth hurt and she needs to gnaw on stuff to relieve the pain. Rope toys are good. She may also be giving you 'love-nips' which are just what they sound like. she may be nibbling on you out of affection or because she smells something tasty on your hands.

Yes this is normal. Dogs are animals that live in packs. You need to get in the mindset that you are the leader.

This is very normal do not worry. Your puppy is just teething. Thats how dogs lose baby teeth. I would reccomend toys and chew toys.

Without proper training, yes this is normal. Try spraying "Bitter Apple" stuff all over whatever she chews.

she is still a puppy; the breed she is will determine how fast she matures... get her lots of chew toys and rawhide... make them always available for her when she is getting the urge to chew or is trying to chew something she shouldn't.
