She is doing well with her other training. She is learning to not eat shoes, not eat the leash, not jump at the table.

she's tired of the treats cause (you know yourself) when you get them all the time, they're not treats anymore...you should only give them to her on very special occasions, or when she's done exceptionally well.
Try to gently discourage her nipping..tell her no, and divert her attention to something else.
She is very, very young (1 year old human), so you gotta be willing to tolerate her naughtiness occasionally.
It's great that's she's learning about not chewing on shoes...just make sure she's got lots of chew toys, or bones...and don't take a chance (yet) that she won't chew your very favorite italian leather boots when you forget and leave them in her reach
She's too young to trust to do the right thing.
Enjoy her puppyhood...they grow up so fast...she'll be MUCH better behaved and relaxed when she's got another year or two under her belt. It's almost like having a kid around.
