You aren't a dog guy. Stick with goldfish.

I was living with a fiery redhead when I bought my yellow lab. She didn't want him in the house. That lasted about 5 minutes.

She was adamant that he would never be in the bed. I told her he was too little to go all night without going outside so I put his puppy crate on a table next to the bed so that I could jump up and let him out when he needed to go. On the second night I got up to let him out only he wasn't in his crate. He was in bed with the redhead, sharing her pillow. He obviously liked her more than me.

What
 
This is bad. There was a post to alt.sport.pool newsgroup in the 90s where a woman said her kid chewed a cube of chalk and got lead poisoning. So be careful.

He's a 9 month old Golden Retriever. He's a big boy weighing in at about 80 pounds. Tall enough to reach the chalk on the rail of my Centennial Pro 8 without jumping up. Its hard to train myself to remember to remove the chalk every time I leave the table. Phone rings. Dog grabs chalk. Bathroom break. Dog grabs chalk. He really likes to chew chalk but he doesn't eat the chalk, just breaks into about 20 pieces that I have to pick out of the carpet. I've caught him in the act a few times and smacked his snout while issuing a stern "NO". He doesn't seem to mind. He is a smart dog and will eventually learn. In the meantime, I just ordered a large box of blue Master.

Cancel the Masters and order a large box of Taom or Kamui and lets see how quick you teach Brody not to chew the chalk. lol
 
hot sauce on the chalk thats on the table may work. if not glue or tape some short nails to some chalk so when he grabs it he gets stuck but not sharp enough nails to do damage.

My dog, when he was a puppy, was outside for 30 minutes tied onto a 55# weight. He dragged the weight 20' over to the side of the house and attacked a wasp hive that we didn't know was under the siding. He was having a grand old time biting wasps. Pain isn't a good deterrent, some dogs get tuned in and lose all common sense. Especially terriers. Terrier brain says bite sharp bugs and don't stop. It's a game to them.

Fortunately he was fine. Puppies will chew ANYTHING that they can reach. Keep them in chew toys and it will help them focus their need to chew on the toys and not your expensive or dangerous stuff. Puppies teethe like crazy and they need something to chew on. If it's a new pair of shoes, that works for them. Better to give them multiple chew toys, they all have preferences.

The best thing we've ever did for our dogs is have a house with a fenced in back yard and install a doggy door in the sliding glass patio door. They make kits for this. A dog will have a more fulfilling life if able to go explore the back yard when they feel like it and you will also never have messes on the carpet. You have to train them to use the doggy door, but once they understand how it works they will gladly use it rather than make a mess.

A puppy chewing isn't really anything they can help, you must give them alternatives. Eventually you can sort of train it out of them, but generally they give up on it once their adult teeth are in. Beating a puppy for teething just shows someone doesn't understand a dog's growth cycle. Of course there has to be boundaries, but a puppy chewing on stuff is a normal thing. Chew toys will save your sanity and stuff.
