Hello all we just got puppy Disney on July 4th she's Australian shepherd border collie and pit though she's a serious chewer! She's a sweety pie too she loves to Jump around like Bambi high energy and she loves to chase my cat Batman who puts up with her cause Batman is a wolf dog cat we had a dog hybrid named Shiva she was half red wolf, that's why my cat became a dog cat. Anyways her brother Philly who is no longer with us along with Shiva recent passed away but then we got Disney I totally forgot how hard it was caring for a baby animal in the house right now the house is full of love that's been missing.
need advice on training Disney the Aussie side really showing through while we're teaching her not to chew she bites hard! She's a jumper stubborn pup! (fiiles are too big to attach and I'm using my phone trying to add photos.)

That’s
quite the mix for a dog. Many Border Collies are on the higher energy scale and Australian Shepherds are also known to have a bit of high energy as well.
I recommend kennel training and giving your new pup a Kong toy filled with dog safe treats for her to keep entertained while in the kennel.
Puppies are
known to be biters and super chewers because they explore with their mouths. Her puppy teeth are also just extra sharp because, well, they’re puppy teeth! Definitely wouldn’t say she’s a stubborn pup, she’s just being your typical puppy.

Yeah it's funny once she has something she will runaway to chew on it in secret XD she's a sweetie and we love her and we definitely will be using Kong toys cause my half red wolf used to use them! But she would destroy them in hours XD other than that me and my mom are prepared to go the extra mile for Disney

Have you tried umbilical cord training with her? It’s best that she doesn’t get the opportunity to sneak off with stuff in the first place. So, switching between umbilical cord training and crate training can help manage a puppy that wants to explore the world with their destructive little mouth.
Here’s a little more info about it:

What provoked your dog to bite? Do you think that your dog may have some triggers? So sorry this happened! It’s a traumatic experience for all parties! Is your cousin pressing charges? If so, the dog may end up being put down, sadly.

Thank you so much for the help honestly we technically already did umbilical she refuses to leave are sides still chewing but that's cause her teeth hurt and we're getting a kennel now mom at first didn't believe in kennels cause she's had many dogs all kinds of pure breds you name it she's had it so she never crate trained any of them but maybe it's different with Aussie mixed collie dogs

All dogs should be crate trained its not breed-dependent.
