First, thank you for saving pound dogs.

she likes to give doggie kisses which eventually turn into play nips

When they do that, grab their 'lips' and push them onto their own teeth, causing them to bite themselves. Reinforce this with a stern "NO!" You have to do this right when they nip, so they associate the behavior. This is negative reinforcement.

When they only lick you and don't nip, praise them. Positive reinforcement.

I'm still thinking about what to do about them chewing your house.

These dogs are smart and need to be challanged daily...excercise essential...lots of running..they are trotters ...so a long bike ride wouldnt hurt them a bit..they do well in obstacle type courses..kind of like smart kids in school stuck in slow classes....they get into mischief if not challanged..
