You have a tenacious chewer! I would try increasing her exercise to wear her out so that she is less interested in chewing. When you catch her in the act, correct her and redirect her to a positive behavior.

Does she also have edible chews like bully sticks, himalayan chews, or anything else? I have to supervise my boys very closely with these types of things, so they aren't babysitters necessarily, but they do provide plenty of chewing.

If all else fails, I would maybe discuss with my vet possible blood tests to see if something is missing from my pup's diet. I've read that just like rock eating, sometimes wood chewing can be a sign of a nutritional deficiency. Sometimes it is just a compulsion fueled by boredom and pent up energy.

Good luck.
