Young dogs are very oral and this is a normal behavior for them. Try to purchase toys that are meant for chewing such as rawhide, Kong toys etc. lots and lots of exercise for mental and physical stimulation, and taking away or preventing access to the things you don’t want him chewing on. The chewing desire lasts for the first few years and sometimes beyond that. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
