Yeah, again, even time on a chain isn't going to cut it. She needs purposeful activity and some mental stimulation. Honestly, it sounds to me like you have a very high-energy breed, young pup, who is not being challenged physically or intellectually, so she is channeling her pent up energy and boredom into distructive behaviour. Have you tried borrowing a training book from the library? How often do you work with your dog on obedience? This issue is not likely to go away unless the family is willing to commit to spending some quality time with the dog on a daily basis.
