the same things you are 'thinking' when you eat sushi - it is all about "mouth feel" and dogs have much higher #'s of sensory receptors for that, esp. in the teeth, tongue and gums and ESP. in retrievers - that is a concomitant of the hundreds of generations of artificial selection humans did on all retr. breeds to get them to mouth ducks well for ... retrieving
they are connoisseurs of mouth feel
mine likes to clamp her mouth around people's forearms and just mouth it - I call it "warm sushi"
find some Bitter Apple and hose down every surface you do not want the dog to chew - if a puppy, then do not neglect electrical and phone cords, chair legs, etc.
