Place all items that they can chew up out of reach or in closets. Do not
give them an opportunity to chew your things. Provide them with their own
chew toys and make them accessible at all times for the dogs. More than
likely the puppy started to chew something and got the older dog into a game
over it. You just need to break the chain by preventing them from getting
hold of the items. As for the garbage you need to take garbage out often and
get a locking garbage can. I have one because I have wonderful perfect fur
baby that is a food hound. If that doesn't help you need basic training on
top of that.Good luck
