She is teething. May I suggest raw beef knuckle bones. I've found them at Save-on Foods in the frozen section in packs of 3. Let her gnaw on that, it will tire out her jaw, maybe take out some loose puppy teeth and help her a lot. I also give frozen carrots, apples and even watermelon and cantaloup rinds. All these things will work her jaw which she craves. She'll begin to slow down when her permanent teeth have finished growing.

The puppy is now 15.5 weeks old. Any suggestions? Our biggest problems are trying to keep her from testing everything as food even after feeding. Her nose is always on the ground outdoors or on the floors and carpet indoors. She quickly picks up and chews whatever. We're constantly taking things out of her mouth. The crate is helping to prevent ingesting the wrong things. We cannot allow her outdoors in the backyard at all alone and off the leash to do her business.
