Chewing is normal puppy behavior, not bad behavior, so the goal is redirecting it rather than trying to stop it completely.

• Give the right outlets: Durable chew toys should always be nearby and available.
• Puppy-proof the space: Keep shoes, cords, and anything valuable out of reach during the teething phase.
• Redirect, don't punish: If you catch them chewing something wrong, swap it for an appropriate toy instead of scolding.
• Exercise matters: A tired puppy chews less out of boredom.
• Be patient: Most puppies grow out of heavy chewing by 6-8 months, though teething can restart it temporarily.

Consistency is what actually works here, not any single trick.
