It really depends on the dog. Some dogs are 10 months, some are for their whole lives, and the majority, at least for me, fall right around 1 1/2 year old mark.
At this point I wouldn't worry about weaning your girl. Start back at square one. Leash her to you when you're home and crate her when you're not there, can't watch her, or at bedtime. Personally I'd wait at least several months before I would give her any freedom.
Get into some training classes, both you and your GF and start implementing NILIF. You can do a search here to find out about how it works.
