How do I stop this dog from tearing up stuff?

Question

I was given a black lab puppy, (female). She is four months old and already large. She has torn up a baby pool, my garden in the corner of the back yard,  pulled limbs off of the trees, chewed up a small pecan tree, and torn up my hammock in the back yard. There are two other dogs that are older and do not do these things.There are also a lot of toys and balls in the back yard. I play with the dogs everyday.
 I took her to the vet and had her spaded, got her shots and started her on heartworm preventative medicine. I have spent quite a bit of money to take care of her. So how do I stop her from destoying the back yard and everything in the yard?

Watch her every minute of every day. Everytime she starts doing something you don't want her to do, move her away from the object and say "no". Puppies are destructive while teething, get her some teething toys and hope for the best.

Start by walking her for a hour at a time 2-3 times a day. This dog is bored and not recieving the mental and physical stimulation he needs....hence destruction.

A tired dog is a happy dog. a bored dog is destructive.

How about an obediance class? This will help a lot :)

Its spayed not " Spaded" she can't be spayed at 4 months old? The youngest age is 6 months. Labs are very active breed they are bred to be working, they likes to keep busy. Start to train her not to tearing or touching things that's not belong to her on leash indoor or garden teach her to " leave it". Labs needs lot of exercises
