How can I get my puppy to stop chewing up everything? He's already ruined 2 pairs of shoes, a pillow, and he even chewed on a candle I had out. I'm no Dog Whisperer. The only thing I've tried is just yelling "No!" and trying to keep things in my closet and out of harm's way.

Hmm try to spray some water on your puppy when he/she did something bad , not sure if it applies to every dog my friend did it it works. Or try put something there he/she really hates. Try if that works.

Goodluck

Most puppies chew because they are teething and will outgrow it... a salty product called aluum is a good deterant... make sure he has his own chew toys, things made for dogs and good for their teeth... but there are always exceptions to the rule and some do not every outgrow it... try to be patient... just a puppy after all...
