At this age, it's completely normal for Luna to bite anything she can reach - just like a toddler who wants to grab and touch everything :) This means that you need to puppy proof your home to make sure she doesn't have access to anything she shouldn't have. Put your things away where she can't reach them, and confine her to a crate or a dog-proofed room whenever you're not home or if you're too busy to supervise her. Make sure that you are also providing lots of appropriate things for her to play with and chew on, to help her avoid the temptation of chewing on other things - different types of toys, as well as chew items like rawhide chews, bully sticks, cow or pig ears, etc. You can use Bitter Apple spray on furniture or carpeting to help deter her from chewing on these things if needed. As she gets older, her natural drive to chew on everything will decrease on its own. Most dogs are no longer chewing on inappropriate objects by the time they are 2-3 years old, but she will need lots of supervision until then to make sure she doesn't have a chance to form bad habits.
