He has thousands of toys to play w/ but he plays w/ them for a little while and gets tired of them and thats when he finds something else.. it seems as if he is only chewing things he shouldn't!!!

A water squirt bottle can help. Or somthing strong smelling that it don't like to smell. Don't use household cleaners or anything dangerous. Maby a dog shampoo.
Everytime it does something you don't want him to do give him a squirt or a smell.
Don't be meen just be firm. Give him somthing else to do besides chase your feet. Give him a bone, or play tug with him with a rope.

It is normal for puppies to chew. Be sure he has appropriate things to chew on.
He is chasing you around and biting your feet because he needs your attention. Set aside time every day to play with him and tire him out, so he will rest when you have other things to do.
Be patient with him. He's just a baby.

Get your puppy lots of rawhide bones and other types of chewies. Puppies go through a teething phase just like babies do, so they need something to continually gnaw on. Also you can try "Bitter Apple". You spray it on places where you don't want your puppy to chew, and it should deter him from those areas. (Read the directions re. where it's safe to spray before you use it.)

this is going to sound silly but my pup hates the smell of anything menthol.try putting just a little bengay or some kind of muscle rub on your feet and he probably won't want anything to with your feet anymore try it if it works do it for a week and he might stop all together. if you wanna spend a little extra money they have sprays at pet smart that you can use to stop this you can spray it on anything,well I'm not sure if you can use it on yourself. but you can use it on furniture. good luck.

It isnt a phase. It feels it is the top dog in the house. You need to get control and show it you are boss. Buy a pinch collar. Keep it on him with a leash. Take him for a walk. It walks in back of you. Everytime its goes to snap at your ankles pull pinch collar up and back quickly. The dog will bark. You need to show YOU are in control and teh behavior will not be tolerated.
Chewing is normal. It is a pup.. Get lots of chew toys and bones. When he is done teething it will stop

Flip him on his back and stare him right in the eye. It establishes dominance.
