She has terrible problems of behavior, I try to pet her and she bites, she bites everything, I can’t make her to listen to me when I give her an order, she steels all my clothing and tear it apart, when I wear skirts she jumps to bite it and pull it so… good bye skirt, one more to join the rest of destroyed thing on my house. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, I try to spend as much as I have with her, but I think is not working, she is about 6 hours alone every day, three at the morning and three on the afternoon, I am thinking about giving her away, but I love her so much that I don’t want to, but I feel that she is never going to change her way and it is a problem for me. I really need and advice!!!!! PLEASE!!!!
Dogs form their personalities at 2 and 3 months of age. This is when they need to be trained and socialized with people regularly. This is when they form their first habits, the ones that will stay will them all their lives. Dogs don't learn the right habits by themselves so TAKE HER TO TRAINING CLASSES WHERE YOU CAN BOTH LEARN

My puppy is a mini dachshund. He is 11 weeks old. The only time he isnt biting my hands is when he is sleeping. He has plenty of chew toys, all different textures, he isnt chewing anything else, just my hands.
You always try the most positive method first:
Some ideas for discouraging finger chewing: when your puppy clamps down, let out a very loud YELP in imitation of a hurt puppy. Then, fold your arms and ignore him for 1 or 2 minutes. With very young puppies, this sometimes works wonders - it's the same thing that happens when they get too rough with another puppy. The wounded puppy yelps and runs off, refusing to play for a bit. The yelp must be startling enough to stop the behavior.
That should do the trick, unless she is prey driven, . However, if it doesn't fix the problem this will work:
To introduce an element of "natural discipline", grasp the recalcitrant pup with one hand, place your other hand over the top of his muzzle, gently pressing his muzzle towards his chest as you say, in a low, growly tone of voice, "No BITE". If they begin to throw a tantrum and thrash around trying to bite, just hold the line until they "give in" and "say uncle" (quit resisting). You should not find it necessary to get aggressive with a young puppy. Simple restraint is usually enough to get the message across.
DON"T hit him or flick his nose! this will cause a rift in his relationship with you, and he will never be as trusting.

so,we got a new puppy hes 9 weeks old.hes been good lately but just today he just acted so weird,hes been biting everything he sees and hes been crying just all a sudden hes been distant to us for today.can anyone help us on what you think is wrong with him?what can we do to make him feel better if theres really something wrong.
At 9 weeks old he's NOT teething. Puppy biting is common. That's how they explore their world..through their mouth. He's most likely going through a transition period of being away from his mother and littermates. I highly suggest you join the yahoo group SPT. It's a puppy group with a lot of answers, moderated by a positive trainer with lots of experience. If he's biting people, there's info on bite inhibition there as well as tons of other things.
