My puppies the same age, I dont let him play with shoes/shoe laces, bites socks, bite people, etc. If youy let them do this now, they will never break the habbit when they are older. I got my dog this thing called a Kong. It looks kinda like a pacifier and you can stuff food and treats and stuff into it. Petsmart is where I got mine. Puppies need to teethe, just get them other things to chew on.
Mills fleet farm is much cheaper than petsmart or petco those are about the most expensive places in town i have found...
puppies will bite and chew i have a ton of toys for my dog and i have used lemon juice and bitter apple spraying it on the things she chewed on and also in her mouth (with lemon juice) when she does things wrong even if you don't catch the dog in the act take her rub her nose in what she got into then give her a shot of lemon juice in the mouth....
i've also spanked her mouth when she bites me and sternly said no biting when she bite me during play she has learned not to....
if she got into something really bad she got a spanking....
just like teenagers a dog will always have to be reminded who's boss every once and a while it's not just puppy stage
