I think a good way to do it could be to have a favorite toy she plays with, like for example with Jo, a plastic ring thing she plays tug-of-war with. Seeing they know its their toy, their naturally going to put it in their mouth and hold it there to play with it, right??. Try getting her to sit, and take the toy on the command 'hold' or w/e you wish, then you could ask her to 'give' it back to you, and once she does, try to get her to stay with it in one spot with out ripping at it. If she does it, praise her and give her treats and lots of love, tell her how good she is. After you think she's got the hang of it, you could try on something else.
