Wanting to chew on things is a very normal behavior for a puppy but you do want to make sure your house is puppy proofed so Venus doesn't eat something that can cause an intestinal obstruction. A Kong stuffed with a treat can be used to give Venus something safe to chew. A young puppy will often exhibit large bursts of energy so this is also normal behavior. Venus will most likely grow out of the chewing behavior. This article may be of interest to you: https://www.petcoach.co/article/7-great-toys-for-teething-puppies/ Thanks for using PetCoach!
