Usually shredding, chewing are signs of utter boredom. With puppies in the house, I am very familiar with that. We have kept our home pretty much shred and chew free by buying the dogs "stinkies" (cow hooves) and antlers ... wonderful play and chew toy, and doing a "class session" in the evenings to occupy their minds.
I buy the stinkies at Tractor SUpply or Petco/Petsmart and the antlers I order online. they are nearly indestructible, do not chip, and become chew, tug and toss toys.
I am afraid we must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy. George Bernard Shaw
