Your dogs just want more exercise and to play with you. They are bored... You need to let them run in a big field for a couple hours a day. Since you have two dogs they can easily chase each other back and forth if you give them room to roam. They can wrestle with each other outside and tire each other out. That will solve most of your issues... That said, one is specifically trying to play with you. That one wants your attention and affection. They bump into your legs because they want you to pay attention. They nip at you because they are trying to initiate play and rough house. They chew stuff up because it is fun for dogs, and when they are young they are often dealing with teething. So spend some time on the floor wrestling with your dogs, petting them, scratching their belly, etc. Get some toys like ropes and a ball. Let them bite one end of the rope while you hold the other end and play tug-o-war. Throw the ball and play fetch to get them to run off some of their energy. Also provide some bones/chew chips so that they have something appropriate to chew on when they get bored.

well one basic idea that should help some would to get a literal muzzle seeing as you mentioned both biting and food stealing. as well, though am sure am going to hear a lot against this and you dont seem to want to go this route, actual corpral punishment should actually help. (yes a type of hitting) not saying cause actual harm or to beat the dog either. i recomend using an envelope that happens to have a cellephane window in it. this happens to also add the effect of sound (likethe clicker technique would) and actually does no harm to your dog. seeing as canines are derived from wolves (and i believe a few other things such as foxes but still mostly wolves) and the way the heirarchy of such works, some "violence" is required into setting the pack order. you (your spouse/children) should be the alpha of your pack (your familyand pets) so would be the one to give such punishments for going rogue from the pack order. this way you do that "violence" without actual harm, show your dominance as the alpha, and should restore order.
Maybe she is allergic to something in her food and is looking for alternatives or maybe she had an undiagnosed issue. They have music that soothes adults so see if there are meditation CDs for dogs. I would not recommend giving adult music to dogs cause their ears might be different, and another thing is my high school physics teacher told me dogs can hear noises that humans can’t so if you’re located near an ocean or an area where there are noises that dogs cannot handle, that might explain her behaviour, and your dog looks very skinny so if it is starving or hungry, that might explain why it keeps eating when it should not - once again this goes back to the undiagnosed allergies that I mentioned.
A bored dog is a destructive and disobedient dog. They need more exercise.
You need a new a professional trainer.
If you can’t handle either of these things reach put to a Rottweiler specific rescue. They will
be the dogs safest bet to finding their perfect home. (Been training working dog breeds since the 90’s)

She needs some negative reinforcement to understand qhere she's messing up. Some will disagree with me here, but a shock collar wouldn't be a bad option. There are collars that are pushbutton operated from a remote.
And yes, definitely make sure she's getting plenty of opportunity for exercise, mental stimulation (like teaching her commands), and positive attention when she's being good.It might work to do what the superior dog in his pack would do - throw him on his back and grab him by the throat.
The most important thing in dog training is to be consistent.Have you taken your dog to a trainer other than your father? Sounds like she has some bad habits that need to be broken.
Take her to a trainer... they'll help you resolve her issues.
Try everything and just cause your dad's a trainer doesn't make him the BEST trainer in the whole wide world another person could get her in shape and then you don't have to give her away.

Just let them grow up and mature don’t beat them whenever you do I had 120 pounds female Rottweiler
I have no idea why people own dogs especially dumb dogs like this. I’d electrocute it and then shoot it in the face multiple times. Dumb animals like this are not worth time or energy.
Learn what you are doing wrong. They aren't getting enough of what they need more than likely
You can enroll your dog in behavior classes. But re-home your dog if nothing works and do not go the SPCA.
a bored dog id a destructive dog? Anything that destroys out of boredom is a menace to society. Dogs should be outlawed. Dog lovers should be arrested and re-educated to be allowed in society. FUCK. DOGS.
have you actually tried some trainers?
