He rips them apart throwing the feathers all over the place. Besides that he is a great dog! Now I have taken all the pillows and cushions off the couch but I'm afraid he'll start some place else. He has 3 other dogs to play with and keep him company all day so he can't be bored. I love him to death but he needs to learn to chill out!

Their is this great invention called a "Scat Mat" Is is an electronic pad that when it is stepped on delivers a low voltage shock. Place it in front of or on the couch. He wont get on the couch again! I used it to keep my dogs from jumping on the window. Works great!

Have the same problem. I also have a few other dogs he can play with. I think he feels left out and is acting up. Try to catch him in the moment and scold him.

simply having 3 other dogs to play with doesnt mean he isnt bored.. I doubt those dogs are meeting his mental needs..
your dog needs mental stimulation, he needs obedeince lessons to stimulate his mind and you need to interact with him more - you cannot simply get a dog and they say "ok here you are now go play" you need to spend time practiceing the obedience stuff and then give him thoughtfull play time
