Dogs don't do things to "punish" us; they do these things because they are bored, as previously stated. Do you exercise her? Frisbee, ball, swimming, etc, are fantastic ways to interact with her while tiring her out at the same time. Visit a local park or dog park! A tired dog is a good dog.
If she is chewing things she isn't supposed to outside, maybe you should get a kennel or something to confine her from areas you don't want her to be?
I would not suggest a kennel for this dog. The dog is already isolated, cutting down on its territory is going to back fire big time, and create even more issues. This is why I suggested fencing off the "bad" stuff instead.
