Crate her when you aren't at home and when you are at home when you see her chewing on something she shouldn't say no firmly and replace it with a toy. My little girl has only chewed on shoes twice when i brought her home because as soon as i saw her chewing it i did this and she has never chewed on anything she shouldn't since. I do spend alot of play time with her at least 1 1/2 per night is dedicated strickly to her play. The rest of the day i work and i will stop every 1 1/2 hours and take her out or just pick her up for a hug and kiss and tell her how much i love her. I know alot of people work outside the home and that isn't feasible. Just try crating her and putting a SAFE TOY in her crate with her so she will have somthing to play with or buy a gate a put her in the mud room or bathroom and leave toys in their with her while you are away.
Please don't get rid of her. There are men out there that would ac cept her behavior and love you enough to work with you and your pet. My boyfriend told me if i got a dog he would leave me WELL GUESS WHAT!!! i got a dog and i am getting my second puppy this weekend. He is 14 weeks and Sassy is almost 2 now and i got her at 5 weeks. For someone to raise so much cane about me getting her he LOVES HER TO DEATH AND HE CALLS HIMSELF DADDY!!! There are good men out there.
Hope this helps and good luck,
