6 Month old Chewing everything

[Roost em 1st]

This lab pup has a taste for everything, door mats, furniture, hands, Christmas ornamnents... you get the picture. He's not mine but belongs to my wife's employer. I say to keep him Kenneled when leaving him alone but promised to ask you good people in the forum for any special tips/books/ programs that would allow the fella to stay in the house. he lives with 2 teenage girls one mom and a really in need of help for escaping girls pre-teen boy.
Any helpful advice or suggestions appreciated,

Lab pups love to chew. Bitter Apple found in pet stores can be put on items you don't want him to chew on or a hot sauce though it might stain some items. They will mostly grow out of it. I would kennel him when you can't keep an eye on him. when he does chew on something you don't want him to tell him NO in a loud voice take it away and give him a chew toy instead. My lab still likes the furry stuff animals.

This might not be the best solution but we had a Golden at one time that loved to grab Kleenex or anything that paper out of the garbage can. Well, we put a little tobassco sauce on a Kleenex and left it on the floor. He grabbed it and chewed it and after a couple of times it cured him of his habit.
