Is it a puppy? If so, it's prob teething, mine is atm. Just get it a rag with some big knots tied into it, they seem to love them.
If its an older dog, you can get a deterrent spray, used to be called "bitter Apple" - spray it on furniture etc, and the dog won't chew it, can't stand the taste.

Its just one of those things mate, if all else fails, get a water spray (like they have for plants, can have mist or jet etc) and give it a squirt if it misbehaves. Some dogs love it tho, so doesnt always work.

i read something about getting some ice or something ice cold for the dog to chew on, the cold will numb his mouth and will stop chewing
or just hit it with newspaper

we got 3 dogs n they never chewed anyhting, did go thru a phase of goin underneath the sofa in the conservatory and scratching all the fluff out from under it, making a big hole under the cushion, but they're grown up a bit now n too big to go under there
the newspaper works a treat, as does a loud shout of "NO" or "U FECKING NOB JOCKEY!!! STOP CHEWING MY FECKIGN FURNITURE OR I'LL DO U DRY AND POKE U IN THE EYES"

Just don't be cruel to it, if you really can't handle it, then give it to a dogs home...
What sort is it anyway?

Teething
There are two stages of normal teething. This will usually occur between the ages of four to six months and again at eight to ten months. During teething chewing is essential for dogs.
Often the puppy will chew anything and the chewing may appear frantic to the point of making the gums bleed. Chewing will often concentrate on things that a puppy finds soothing and whilst puppies are eager to please, the discomfort they feel during teething will often mean that they will chew anything.
What can you do to reduce problems during teething
It is essential to supervise him closely during these periods. Often a puppy playpen or indoor kennel can assist in preventing him from chewing anything unsuitable or dangerous. It is also useful to purchase a taste deterrent spray from a veterinary surgeon. This should be applied frequently to anything he may chew, particularly wires and plugs.
It is during this period of chewing that puppies can develop long-term bad habits and become very destructive, so it is important to spend time managing this period of learning to prevent problems later on. Ensure that you have a variety of toys and chews available that can be offered to him so that he learns what he is allowed to chew. Do not leave many articles lying around, as this is likely to confuse him. Sometimes coating a chew with Marmite or some other strong-smelling, attractive flavour, will help to encourage him to remain with the item.

But you'd have to catch it first, would involve you having to "paws" for breath
