[quote=Anonymous]OP - She is still very much a puppy.  And lab puppies are very challenging.  The chewing and destructive behavior is completely normal for a puppy and especially for a lab puppy.  She will grow out of the chewing phase.  She will continue to dig in your yard if you allow it.  With even the most basic training she will learn to behave.

First, she should be in crate when you are not supervising her.  Don't give her the opportunity to be destructive.  Provide plenty of toys that she is allowed to chew on.  Make sure you are taking her for at least one long walk every single day.  Playing at the dog park is not the same as going for a walk.  Playing in the backyard is not the same as going for a walk.

You hate her because you are not providing the boundaries that a puppy needs to be a successful member of your household.  This is not the puppy's fault.  She is just being a puppy.  She depends on you to keep her out of trouble.  Keep her crated when you aren't watching her.  Give her plenty of stimulation by taking her for long walks and playing with her in the yard.  Do not leave her unsupervised in your back yard.  Follow those guidelines for a few days and I'll bet you'll decide to keep her after all.

Keep in mind that labs have long puppyhoods.  She will not fully mature until she is around three.
