Hahahaha. He is adorable...and He won't stop eating everything till he's done teething at about 5-6 months. My girls finally got in all their adult teeth at 6 months and now it's much better.

What I did was everytime the girls started to chew an unauthorized item I would tell them Uh Uh...very sternly...and put an approved item in their mouth. They really liked the hard items like carrots from the fridge because I think it relieved some of the tooth pain.

His jowls haven't even started coming in yet. I noticed that right about the time my girls stopped chewing was when they started drooling. All of a sudden they would stop drinking from the dish and all this water would just drip out of their jowls....

Very cute pup!
Have to be on your game with the chewing! Sorry no rest for you lol.
Like others have said stop them when chewing unauthorized items and substitute approved items.
Get plenty of approved items.

Love those ears!

Patience and redirect, rinse and repeat over and over again, with the biting. I have a 16 week old pup, he's like a little hairy pirhana, bitey bitey bitey.

I play lots of take it and out (let go) games with him which is helping.
 
Cruella de vil was her name.

We are doing a lot of redirecting with Larry. Toys wow I think this dog has more toys than I do shoes lol!!! I always carry something in my purse/bag to redirect him when he starts chewing something which is not allowed. We have forgotten how busy puppies are this is just like bringing up our children again. I cannot remember being this tired with of kids. I'm sure it will all be worth it when he turns into a teen. We are having a great time.
