This is normal puppy behavior but it does require training. Also remember that Charolett is a puppy so you should expect the training process to be slow and that she may revert sometimes. I recommend to read up on dogs training. There is a trainer I like named Victoria Stilwell who has written many books about common bad behaviors and training. Generally this behavior is addressed by being on a leash and counter training. I hope this helps.
