4 months old. Is there anything else I can give him besides that? I give him wood sticks. Dog chews. He also grabs my fallen apples from tree.

The dog is desperate for something, anything to bite. He's teething. Big chew bones, there's a dog toy called a kong--have you heard of it? You fill it with peanut butter and freeze it. You give it to the dog, and it'll take him all day to get the peanut butter out or chew the kong in half. Make sure he has lots & lots of chew toys around, and if he's chewing something inappropriate, substitute an appropriate toy. There's also a substance called bitrex. They use it to make cleansers bitter so kids won't drink them. Paint or spray that solution anywhere the dog is causing trouble with chewing, esp if it's electrical.
Have fun.

You should give him your time.
It sounds like the poor pup is board to death and chewing inapropriate objects just
may help this to happen.
Play with this pup and show it what are the correct things to chew and play with. I would not give wood sticks as they have been known to splinter and stick in a dogs
throat. Walk the dog at least twice a day for at least a half hour. Do not leave the dog alone for more than 3 hrs at a time if left outside. Start training the pup to sit, lay, and heal now so it will be easier later.

Labradors are renowned chewers. Try bitter apple spray on the siding or maybe even fence of the area from the pup.
Chewing wood will wear down his teeth and dog chews are often made from inappropriate ingredients. These can cause choking or intestinal problems.
A good treat to keep them busy for ages is a frozen meaty bone. By meaty I mean a chicken quarter or a chunk of meat. I also used to freeze chicken necks or even drumsticks and use these to stuff the kong with.

Labs chew on things that they "know" they are not suppose to when they are bored and alone.
This type of dog needs a lot of attention and a lot of play. You get a bored lab, you get chewed up things.

He is not only chewing but playing. Be sure to give him plenty of toys and say no when ever he chews something he shouldn't. Goodluck.

He's bored and underexercised.
Get out and play with him, take him for a long walk, and at the end of the day, bring him inside when you go inside.

He's bored, and maybe teething. Take him for walks. Play with him. Get him a Kong. Don't leave him in the yard alone.
