Hello and welcome. Several of our members are lurcher lovers, I don't know whether they are near Norfolk though.
I have a Jack Russell terrier crossed with a toilet brush, I think that's a pretty close second to a lurcher :)
She will be teething around now, so are there plenty of things available that she can bite down on?
Other than that, I'd go back to the usual advice we give on puppy mouthing - you can find that here.

You could hold the chicken wing while she gnaws it, that would take away the worry of her choking.

Good luck!
I'm not a fan of a pull on the lead - the throat is a delicate area, and you could cause injury.
Have you considered training without using a lead? You start by clicker training - I can add more detail if you are interested but in brief, a clicker is used to mark the exact moment the dog does...
I see both sides.
Vets have longer training than most professions, so they do have to claw back a lot of the expense of their education. Their equipment and diagnostics means their overheads are high. And, our perception of the cost of health care isn't well calibrated because of the NHS.
But...
I'll add - it's often at around six months that we take our eye of the ball in terms of house training because we think we / they have nailed it. And that's often not the case, so keep up with the big praise and reward when he toilets outside.
It's also possible his growth rate has slowed, and...
What do his gums look like? If they aren't puffy or red, I wonder if he has just got a little cut somewhere and if that's the case I wouldn't necessarily increase the brushing (which you perhaps would do if you were concerned about gum disease).
