Hi, Hope You Can Help! I Have Just Rescued A

Hi,
Hope you can help!
I have just rescued a seven year old wire haired fox terrier from a breeder. He shoed her for two years and then retired her to being a kennel dog. She's had a few litters of pups and then retired to a kennel, Two difficulties. One; I am having a dickens of a time house breaking her. Two: Her paws are a deep rust color and she is constantly licking them. I checked with a vet and was told that the coloration comes from her saliva and from chronic licking. That was the diagnoses but she neglected to give me a cure. I hesitate on applying any chemicals to change the color of her paws or stop her from chewing. I would like to resolve this difficulty if at all possible.
Thank you in advance. ! HELP
