...also from imitating mother's behaviour that was earlier "cleaning the den"
Don't worry the pup will grow out of it. Just take her away with strong NO and repeat it consistently even if no immediate results can be seen.

Well, this is a common feature of CSV training: seems inefficient for quite a while, but if the owner perserveres, at some point it starts "operating" As if the dog tried to figure out how imporat it's obedience to his owner was . Your will and stubborness must be stronger than your pup's
