I think my puppy is the same breed as yours. To stop him to bite or play with things he shouldn’t, I bought him lots of toys and every time he wanted to play with a couch or something, I would throw him the toy to play fetch or for him to buy it instead. Also, slap him slightly in the head and say “no”
Saying no is fine & offering toys…but you should never hit or slap a dog!
It looks like a Bichon to me. A bored bichon will definitely find something to do.
Treat dispensing toys that you can fill with the dog’s meal kibble & the dog has to work to get the kibble out by rolling the toy or batting the toy are also great for using mental energy (& it doesn’t add extra calories if you use the food you were going to feed anyway)!

So did my dog. He managed to open the crate (both bits), get out and flood the house.

Now that’s determination! I’m impressed. And PJ does look apologetic.

At least PJ wouldn’t load the picture upside down
