Is it normal That my labrador does this?
Okay so my labrabor is 2 months old and he seems to be very undosciplined like always active and destroying stuff and i only got him like 4 days ago. When i try to train him with treats...well he seems more interested in the treats. Is it normal for his age or is there something i should dp?

its very normal, as a puppy is like a child exploring the world - with his mouth. It helps to keep the area hes in cleaned and picked up so that there is less of a chance for him to get into something he's not supposed to. Of course hes interested in the treats, but use them on him when he's doing something you want him to do! when hes chewing on something you dont want him to do tell him no, and then distract him with something he is allowed to chew on. Like kids, dogs need toys to entertain themselves. Also when a dog acts up they're trying to tell you they arent happy with something. Try spending more quality time with them. Spend at least a half hour a day (much more with a puppy) just playing with them, and take them for long walks daily. Then you and your pup will get along much better!

Of course he's undisciplined, active and chewing anything he can get his fuzzy muzzle on, HE'S A PUPPY. That's what they do before they are trained and mature. Oh there's plenty you can do like going out and picking up books on puppies and labs because you sound completely unprepared.
Oh yes this is normal. You just have to be very firm when he does something you do not want him to. Also when he chews on something he is not supposed to, right away say NO and give him his to to chew on. You just show him what is OK to chew on. As far as Lab's go though ... they are puppies for a long time...
Exercise him vigorously to get all that destructive energy out of him.
