He might be bored and has pent up energy that needs to be released. Take you dog for daily walks, at least 30-45min to burn that energy off. No long distance running, especially on pavement since it's bad on their growing joints. Then some training to tire him out mentally.
Also giving your dog a Kong or Buster Cube toy will stimulate his minds since he will have to work to get the food out of the toys.
If your dog is being left alone in the house while you are away, maybe it's time to crate train him. If you can't keep an eye on him while your at home, crate him or tether him to you so he can't get into trouble
A tired dog is a good dog.

He has a calcium shortage. Some dogs, cats and even humans (yes, humans, specially pregnant women, who evidently don't make holes in the wall) do that, and sometimes they will eat chalk as well. You should talk to the vet and ask him or her about a vitamin supplement for your dog that has calcium in it so that the dog will stop eating the plaster on the wall.
Good luck

this is because your dog is teething and also bored, give him something to help his teeth like a kong or a hard smoked bone to chew on and if this is happening when he is left by himself get a good sized cage for him to sleep in, if you cover the cage with a blanket he will get used to it and go in there by himself, if you think back to before dogs became domesticated they slept in holes or caves and the cage represents this, also when I leave my dogs alone they each have a plastic bottle with gravy biscuits in to play with, it takes them some time to get the biscuits out and the first 20 minutes of solitude is when the dog is at its worst behaviour, after my dogs have finished the biscuits they settle down and usually go to sleep, you could also leave a radio on when you go out as this helps to comfort the dog. By the way my dogs are GSDs one is 3 years old and the other is 6 months and these tips work for them

Is the dog getting enough exercise and mental stimulation? Distructive behaviour can often be the result of boredom and attention seeking...if you believe this is not the case then maybe a behaviourist or vet can help

Perhaps the dry wall explanation is accurate as that is what we have. It surely isn't boredom because we focus on providing our dogs with different activities for mental stimulation to keep them happy. I do feel better knowing that others seem to have had simular problems! Thank you all!

We tend to think of dog training as a series of steps for teaching particular behaviors. To teach a dog to stay in a particular position, you reward her as she remains in place for gradually longer times, at gradually greater distances, with gradually increasing degrees of distraction.

Now, this is fine, training does involve teaching dogs specific behaviors with a step-by-step approach. This week, though, I’m going to discuss three mental habits that will not only enable you train more effectively but also make life pleasant for both you and your dog.

Have you never tasted dog food ?
Plaster tastes marginaly better.
Sounds like you need a "postmans leg" chewbone from the pet shop and a water pistol to zap him when he chews wall. dont forget to praise him for chewing the bone if you see him.

My dog did the same thing - it was from lack of excersize and boredom.
Look to the dog whisperer for great advice, but start with excersizing your dog more, take him for walks - not just out in the yard alone. He needs stimulation and it will help your bond if you walk him.

Most likely your diog has a vitamin shortage, see a VET for some pills to add to the dog's food daily.
