I am so sorry to hear that you are having a hard time with Thor chewing wood in the window. Puppies absolutely do like to get into things they shouldn't, as frustrating as this can be. Exploitation of their environment with their mouth is a part of their development. Teething can also make their need to chew worse. One reason why puppies are known for their destructive tendencies is they are in need of more stimulation, or experience anxiety when separated from you. There currently are several toys on the market which will interact with Thor and release treats, that can be used while you are out. Thor could also possibly benefit from more exercise, as well puppy socialisation classes. I hope this was a helpful answer and more importantly that Thor sropa chewinf soon. Warmest regards and best of luck to you both
