One of the most useful things I have used with puppies is 1st lots of their own toys and exchange them out so they don't get bored with them and recently....I have started holding the puppy for about 15 minutes or so a couple times a day with a chewie that I hold and let them chew on while I am holding it. I do this so they are getting affection, chewing, and learning to sit in my hands while I control an activity. Sometimes I brush or comb, cut nails but I often hold them to get some of the good chewing going so that they are more content with their toys. I tie old socks to "very specific" places for them to tug on and have a routine time that they get to run through boxes with toys and balls. By providing routines, they seem to be chewing on more appropriate stuff. I hope this adds to your choice of things to work with your new little sweetheart. From the look of her, I think her ears will be both up soon. Have fun.
