Supervision, supervision, supervision.
When you can't be there to supervise your puppy needs to be in its crate.
When you see your puppy go for something it shouldn't tell it NO sharply to stop it. Wait a second or two and then give it one of its toys, praise lavishly when it takes it.
Also when you see it chewing its toys on its own, praise lavishly. The pup may get up and come over to you, but that's ok. The puppy has gotten the message that you like it when it chews its own toys.
To many toys can be a problem. A dog with to many toys can start to view anything within in reach as its toy. Limit toys to 3 or 4 favorites until the puppy learns what is off limits.

You can't. Puppies go through teething just like children and chewing offers relief. The best thing to do is to invest in a couple of good strong chewing bones such as @Nylabones. The initial expense seems high, but they last a very long time and are safer than some other items on the market as they do not have squeakers or other pieces that can break off and pose a choking hazard. Under no circumstances, offer old shoes, slippers, etc. as a dog cannot tell the difference between old shoes your new ones. I suggest that you either cage or place your puppy in a safe room when you are not there to offer supervision until the new teeth are in and keep in mind that the teething process goes through various stages until a dog is at least nine months.

You could get a spray from your local pet store that will stop the puppy from chewing. Just spray it on the object,and it won't chew on it. It won't stain or leave any marks.

Dogs love to chew and explore things with their mouths, it is quite natural. You need to teach them to chew on only approved items. Read this page on my website about Destructive Chewing, it might help.

ok, first try to like scold him every time he tries to chew, then if that doesnt work try to, give him a frozen washcloth, umm also if he/she is chewing up toys make sure you buy toys without a squeeker or anything like that in it, because my dog always want to get the squeaker out. so ya ok bye

Give him his own things to chew on and cage him when nobody is home.

go to the petstore and buy a spray that will make (wtv you spray) ubber bitter to the dog. it worked for us. but, you can also distract it with a treat that takes a while to get thru. get some rawhide or pig ears.
