This is part of the price you pay for bringing home an infant dog as opposed to one 12 - 14 weeks or older, though any young puppy is very infant-like and playful and silly in its behavior as it normal. I'd put the pads in one of those large pad holders and just watch the puppy while you are around and say "uh oh" and squeak a toy when she starts biting it to distract and re-direct her to something else. When you are gone, leave down lots and lots of toys for the puppy to play with and just get through these next few weeks as she grows older.

When she gets a bit older, you can dissuade her from biting your shoes and toes by saying "uh oh" and redirecting her to a squeak toy or tossing a ball for her to go chase or if she bites hard enough to hurt, softly grab her tiny muzzle and gently hold on for a second or two. She won't like that and will learn in time that inappropriate biting will get her muzzle held and when she is old enough to control herself and learns how to think ahead and plan, she will remember what happens when she bites too hard and redirect herself, knowing she will only get her muzzle held if she goes ahead and bites.

She won't be perfect at first when you train her not to bite - because new dogs don't retain much until their brains grow and develop further. In time your puppy will grow into the big world around her and won't be as focused on just her pad or your shoes.

When she gets older, say 3 1/2 - 4 mos., a good obedience training program will keep her little mind busy learning how to work, how to control her impulses and teach her the joys of learning how to do what you ask of her and in time, if you are a happy, upbeat, kind and gentle trainer who keeps the training fun, she will make you a self-confident, wonderfully-behaved pet to have around the house.
