Not hitting her is a good philosophy to have - human aggression just breeds more canine aggression - vicious circle.

Have you tried a BIG variety of toys? The ones you have may not be satisfying her needs for chewing. I have quite a variety and it helps, plus, they'll chew on different things at different times - for whatever reason. Do you have bully stix for her?

You could also try the metal bowl/spoon method to teach her "NO!" - when she does a bad behaviour, you bang the spoon on the metal bowl and this is pretty startling to them and usually interupts the behaviour.

Can I ask you a little favor? It is very, very difficult to read posts when people capitalize the 1st letter of every single word - it looks like one long sentence and is tough to read. Many times, if people open a thread and see posts written like this, they'll just close it w/out reading it. So, you might even get more responses in the future if you write it without the capitalization. No offense intended, my friend! Just a suggestion.
