Is it just in one spot or all over? You can try spraying the area with vinegar or something that tastes or smells bad and maybe that will help...  :dunno:

If she is chewing on a certain spot, get a bottle of Dave's Insanity habanero sauce and paint it on that area in it's pure form.  A couple coats too.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

I think at 3 months old, she won't correlate being put in the kennel with you not wanting her to chew the house. I found it best to catch them in the act, reprimand them so they know exactly what they are doing is wrong, and then bring them somewhere else to play with them. Kinda show them bad versus good.

Thats what I would do. It could be that she is bored. If she is out all the time she could be bored. I have a black lab that would chew all her toys up bought her nylabones and she loves them. Also I had a Rotty that would chew the dogy door that I built out of cedar she kept chewing it up did not know why until my dad told me that cedar has a natural salt content in it. I tried hot sause and she licked it off it did not stop until I painted it. Maybe it was the paint or she she just got tired of slivers in her a##. Good luck I hope you get it stopped.

Don't associate her kennel with punishment. Her kennel should be her "safe place". A place she feels comfortable.

At three months old,she shouldn't be left unsupervised at all,period. My lab is 4 months old. If I'm doing something where I can't watch her like a hawk,she gets kenneled.

Don't do rawhide,that shiat can kill a dog. My vet hates rawhide bones.

If you can't find Nylabones,my puppy likes the big knotted sections of rope the pet store sells. They're called flossys or something like that.

Kongs are another toy that they can chew the hell out of and not ruin in 30 seconds.

I've got a bunch of toys that I rotate out every few days. That keeps her from getting bored.

that's what we would do when our horses would be chewing. Worked just fine.
