Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! At 9 months of age he is done teething. Excessive chewing of inappropriate things could be due to being a puppy or anxiety. He should have plenty of dog chew toys available. All things of value should be put away. He needs to be watched or leashed to an adult when you are home. When you leave him at home, he should be confined in a laundry room, crate or other safe room with no objects to chew. You may want to sign him up for doggie daycare a few times a week. If he has separation anxiety discuss medications with your Vet. As for the begging that is training. He should be taught to go to his bed when you are eating. Or you can crate him during meals. I recommend basic training classes as trained dogs that listen are better dogs at home and in public. I wish you the best!
