Lol, I remember when my choc was a pup and yes very destructive but became a GREAT family member and hunting buddy. Keep toys laying around will help.I hate to say this but ... keep your boxes, returning your stuff is soo much easier if you do... also take a pic with your phone of the contents to facilitate returns.
I hate the collections of boxes I have and since I got a chocolate lab puppy I have lost several of the original boxes I need to return stuff
Oh and I also have too many boxes. I try to keep important receipts but rarely can find the one I need.
