As for the peeing, I think that you need to consult your vet, especially if the problem only began to occur when he was neutured.
Chewing can be a sign of boredom. How much exercise does he get? Both pit bulls and labs can have VERY high energy levels. If a dog does not get the proper amount of exercise, they will release their pent up energy in negative ways, such as chewing. It may be your dog's way of releasing his frustration. Try taking him on a long walk to tire him out. If you already do walk him, and the problem continues, it may be that he has a LOT of energy to burn, so you will need to be creative to come up with other alternitives to tire him out. Longer walks, hikes, swims in a lake, playing fetch, or going to the dog park are all great ways to burn your dog's energy!
Good Luck! I hope the problem subsides!!

hey, I am not rewriting this to suit you, but here is an answer I wrote for someone else and it will suit your needs too.
cage the puppy when it is unattended. walk it out regular (even in your back yard) and encourage it to 'do it's business'. When it's done give it lots of praise.
If the puppy has an accident indoors, do not acknowledge it. Sternly take the puppy outside to its toilet area and instruct it to 'do it's business' (don't terrorise your puppy by sulking!)
Keeping the puppy caged in a confined area will deter it from dirtying. A dog will not normally dirty in it's own bed. (the area must be small but comfortable). You must take your puppy out at regular and frequent intervals.
caging your puppy will help against chewing too.
Don't forget the cage must be a safe and secure place for your puppy. NEVER discipline your puppy whilst it is in its cage.
Look upon a cage a your puppy's safe environment. It is not cruel and it is a very effective training method for dogs of all ages.

Sounds like he needs to see a vet for the peeing problem. Peeing constantly is not good.
He sounds like he is bored. Chewing is a sign of boredom.

Please try asking a librarian how to find a good short book on raising a dog and just read it for fun. Your eyes will get big as you see all the easy solutions for bad problems it will contain. Regards, Mike

You need to consult a trainer.
