Help stopping a dog chewing stuff?

How do I? The bloody dog has chewed a pait of running shoes, a pair of boots and a carpet!

Muzzle?

how would it eat or drink when we were out though?

Get another dog to p*ss on them! (He'll just **** on them then)
Coat a pair that you don't want in chilli powder or smother chillies over them, he'll soon get the idea.
Put one of them cones over his head.

club him with a bass ball bat?
Hey I'm just kiding man

chewing stuff is normally one of two things

1) they are bored. hide food in random places, give them plenty of toys etc

2) they like chewing your stuff!

you could try restricting where they are allowed in the house while you are out, so they dont have access to as many damagabe things.

Also you can buy stuff called citronella, never used it myself but it is citrus based and you can spray it on stuff and they hate the taste of it so supposedly leave it alone.

is it a pup or a muture dog?...if its a pup..training/discipline in time should do the trick, give him/her their own toys/things to chew and keep them in their basket so they know its theirs and play with the dog using the chewable toys and a little tap on the nose and Firm NO when it chews things its not supposed to...

im no expert but thats how i stopped mine when i was younger..few weeks and it was sorted..but he was a pup and a good bread to train.

or put the shoes in a cupboard and redo the whole house in laminate flooring?

he racks a disaprin...

you can get some stuff called bitter bite which tastes like crap.

However you cant cover your whole house in it!!!!

He probably needs more exercise to tire him out. Have you thought about using a crate to keep him secure?
