A good trainer or behaviorist should be able to help you.

If you're feeling as though he may need to be re-homed, though, then perhaps this tenacious breed isn't for you. He's very young and a terrier. He's going to be rowdy, and he's going to be wiggly, and he's going to use his teeth- he needs guidance to learn not to do those things. Perfect dogs aren't born that way, and even the best dogs in the world start as puppies. Puppies who bite, who jump, who want to play all the time. That's true of any puppy of any breed.

My service dog, who is an incredible animal- gentle, soft, intelligent, kind- went through these same things. When I got her at a year old, she was in the throes of adolescence and she shredded a number of items, including a very pretty blue harness, some craft projects, and other things I wanted. She also made me want to wrench my hair out with potty training, grooming, and a number of other things. It's part of enjoying a young dog, and with guidance, respect, training, and exercise, Kaira does not chew on things that do not belong to her anymore, she potties outdoors, and she's learned all of the tasks and manners required of a working animal.
