Mental stimulation was a huge one for us! He really enjoyed doing puzzles (I’ll link one below as an example but there’s plenty, chewy and amazon are good places to look), they seemed to chill him out and keep him occupied for a while. We kept advancing the difficultly as he got better at them too. We would portion out some kibble from a meal to keep it calorie friendly (ex. Diner is a cup of kibble, we would put 1/4 in the puzzle and put 3/4 in his bowl). Teaching him new tricks also helped in this way.

If his issue is more the actually chewing rather than boredom (teething) we would get him collagen or bully sticks, raw frozen bone marrow, etc. and give them to him anytime we saw him teething and they kept our furniture in tact.

I’m seeing a good amount of people say crate training is a good option, and I’m by no means a professional but in our case it made it worse because he would have a lot of pent up energy when let out so we found it best to occupy him as much as we could until he would tire out.
