How often do you exercise your dog? Three things you should do. If it is a boy, neuter him, second invest in a large kennel to hold him during the day. Exercise him/her vigorously every day.

Your dog has separation anxiety. What ever you do DON'T SCOLD him for doing what he is doing. His behavier is normal. In order to stop him from tearing up your house, you must work with him. He misses you while you are gone and this is his way of telling you. Crate training is a good idea but only if you leave him in the crate for no more then 4 hours. If you have to be gone (like at work) For more then 4 hours, Then find a room in your house and leave him in that room with his food water and some toys to play with. You will also need to get puppy training pads so he can go when he needs to. I hope this helps. Good luck.

i'm not a huge fan of crating for long sessions (like daily once you're at artwork)...i'd continuously particularly see a dogs in a kennel the place they might flow around. i'd wager that your dogs is between 6-18 months, that's their maximum damaging adolescent area. Get her a set of toys for each room she has get right of entry to to. One toy won't do it. To make a kong extra interesting, stuff some vast dogs biscuits in it, in the event that they might incredibly get in there and are caught, she'll spend an prolonged time attempting to get them out. they might additionally be packed with canned dogs nutrition, or smear a pair tablespoons of peanut butter around the interior.

It's perfectly acceptable and humane to crate a dog for a short period of time while you are out. 3-4 hours daily is fine, and longer on rare occasions. Do a search of answers or an Internet search on crate training techniques to get you going. And remember, a crate should NEVER be used for punishment and is not a substitute for proper care. But, used in moderation, they can be a fabulous 'safe place' for your dog - and your home.
Good luck to you!

If you have a fenced yard then you should put your dog outside in it when you are not home to supervise him so that he can exercise and work off some of that energy outside with toys. If you don't have a fenced yard, then you should consider buying at leased a fenced chainlink pen 10 x 10 or bigger that is 6 feet high. If you live in an apartment or condo and have no yard then you will need to buy a crate and teach your dog to stay in it with toys so that you can confine him when you are gone or not supervising him inside.

Just like everyone else who has a new dog, you need to get a crate and crate train your dog. You keep him in the crate when no one's home until he's both reliably house trained and trained not to wreck the house.

The problem might be that he misses his mom or dad or brothers or sisters...Once he will get to know you more he won't destroy the house so that means he wants to break free.

take him with you to be trained.petsmart. dogs need to know who the leader of the pack is, and not be left alone. They also don't understand punishment after the fact.

Get a crate and confine them to it when they are not attended.
