he would keep tearing off everything that he sees, shoes, socks, books, anything..becoz of teething. And he would keep on playing the entire time even at night if I don't chain him and make him sleep. Same in day time. If I dont chain him up, he would be hyperactive and wont take rest even for an hour. The moment I put him on leash ..he sleeps. This was not so earlier. he use to sleep a lot a few days ago, Now he is chaging and has evn become comparitively thin. is it Ok to chain a pup even at night in order to put him to sleep. And do they become thinner as they grow up. I am feeding him four time a day with a good diet.

Never ever chain a dog. Chained dogs become fearful because humans, other dogs and animals can approach them but they have no method of escape. The Center for Disease Control studied dog bites and found that the most common risk factors for bites are chained dogs and unneutered males.
Crate train your dog instead. It will stop destruction when you can't supervise the dog and the dog will feel safe in its den - the crate. The website below will tell you how. I have done this twice and it is very effective.
It's fine to put the dog on a leash if that's what will help him get to sleep! The poor thing is just trying to take it all in at once, I bet.
EDIT: sorry if that sounds cruel, crating would be much better. Why does he relax on a leash? I apologize for any misunderstanding my answer may have created.
As long as he's not TOO skinny, don't worry too much about his weight. Keep taking him to the vet, working on training, and reminding him to sleep. Even people forget sometimes ;)
Best of luck!
No, don't chain him up, it is too dangerous for a hyper pup, they can hang themselves and die. A friend of mine hung and killed their pup. He didn't mean to do it at all, it was an accident. Get your pup a dog crate. Dogs are den dwelling animals and will sleep in a crate, plus he will be safe in a crate. Tying a dog up like that especially a pup is cruel. He is probably getting thinner because he is getting ready to go through a growing spurt where he will get longer and taller.
