First to Jerry,...

I welcome advice,...

First, filter Jerry Howe. His screen name changes, but his twisted
remarks and screwy typos remain constant.

I don't have much puppy experience.

Remember, dogs always like to chew, but your puppy will eventually pass
through this "chew everything phase." Some protective booties--applied
with bitter apple--might help. A water pistol or spray bottle might work
well. Of course, Labs like water; so, this might not be a deterrent.

Make certain your puppy has plenty of yummy things to chew on. Have your
wife offer an appropriate item in lieu of her feet; include a lot of
praise, when your puppy accepts the alternative item.

Depending who you talk with, rawhide is a great chew, but chips or
compressed rawhide--not the ground and formed version.
