Which condition might typically cause a dog to chew or shred household objects

If its a puppy. That's what they will do. There is no condition. They dog might need to be disciplined. Not to harshly.

Usually, dogs do that when they are bored. They found nothing to do, so they just begin to chew everything they find on their way. That's you should always keep your dog active by taking them regularly to walks, and buy them toys and stuff, so they can chew them instead of chewing your household objects.

Hope this Helps! :)
