Some of the behaviour is now ingrained (you can tell as its only one bed) because it hasn't been redirected in the important first year. Ie you didn't stop him early enough, it will decline naturally but take longer.
He's not a chewer, but will destroy balls and eat his bed? He's a chewer so give him something to chew in bed. Nylabones are best because a: they are very resilient, and b: not noisy when banged on the floor.
My pup is a digger and a chewer. One rug has holes in it - as per my comment above only one rug? its becoming ingrained, habit, we are working on it by redirecting attention onto other stuff and she now knows the bad "watch it pay attention*" word, and the No word.
*OI said with feeling as in "OI watch it mush" and appropriate dont mess with me body language.
