Keep in mind that Finnegan is basically a teenager and that too shall pass.
Thanks for the advice, we have tug and throw toys for him, he tends to destroy anything else but maybe we can find a more durable puzzle toy. The one we got him before he outsmarted (just turned it over and ate the treats off the floor, then tore it up). It's definitely worth another try.

Thanks, we do say ouch, but he's so damn cute it's hard to stop playing with him. That's something that I'm sure will help, thanks! We owe it to him to train him right and not let him slide on bad behaviors a few seconds after he does them just because he's a looker.
Some brands of toys will note "Powerful chewers"...that may be what you need. They may cost a little more but worth it in the long run. For the Shepherd we used to have I got 'dead' tennis balls from a coworker who played. Shadow didn't need them to bounce, we just needed to be able to throw them for her to chase. She would do that till your arm fell off.
We have evidence of Quinn's puppyhood and teen years in the form of teeth marks all around the house...chair legs, window sills...thankfully he grew out of that.
I'm your huckleberry.
