Chewers- is this okay for toys?

I have 2 plush toys (just beanie babies with plastic parts sewn out), 2 nylabones, a rawhide, a squeaky toy, a frisbee and a treat releasing toy (roll it and the treat falls out).

She is a 7 month old golden retriever- she has ruined a couple pairs of shoes, all of her other toys (that's why I don't have many) and she chews all the doorways. She gets 40 minutes of exercise daily because we don't want to put too much strain on her joints.

Believe me, you will not be hurting her joints by making sure she's active for more than 40 minutes a day. 40 minutes a day is not very much for a large breed puppy, which is quite likely part of the reason she is chewing on things. Continue getting her the 40 minutes of exercise through walking, running, etc. but be sure to also spend an hour or so a day outside in your yard or at the park playing fetch, etc. Making sure she gets a lot of exercise every day will cut down on the wrecking things.

Also, praise her for chewing on good things (nylabones, etc) so that she learns it's good to chew on her toys rather than shoes. Dogs often ruin toys so, just warning you, you'll end up buying a lot more toys for your pup. If she doesn't really care for chewing on a rawhide or her nylabones, try buying her a real bone. You can go buy a large soup bone for fairly cheap and dogs LOVE them. If she isn't too fond of it boil it for a couple minutes - not long enough to cook but long enough to make the bone smell yummy. Believe me, she'll want to chew on that bone forever.
If she's destroying her chew toys faster than you can buy them look into buying her antlers. You can buy them at www.antlerdogchew.com or www.deerantlersforpups.com
Deer antlers last a lot longer than toys, rawhides, or real bones and do not splinter like regular bones do sometimes. They're a great chew toy for a power chewer
