I have two winnie dogs. When we leave them home alone they chew on about anything they can. If I leave them locked up in a room they chew on the trim around the walls. They have clawed paper off my wallls too. What can I do to keep them from doing this when we are gone?

Puppy proof your home and crate them when you can't supervise them.

I have a cute little dog that use to have the same problem so I started to put her in a appropriate size cage. Yes at first she did not like it but once she got used to the idea of getting a treat every time she went in her cage she loved it. Now she will even go in there on her own while I am home. Just no matter what do not give her any toys/bones to chew on while she is in there and you are gone, just in case she chokes...
Try it! Dogs love their own place to go, the cage will become this place!
If you do insist on leaving your dog out during the day...beware of leaving out stuff for it to chew while you are gone...I had a dog choke on toy and or bone remains once.
It is something you can control, do is soon your trust me it is not fun if you do not...

Crate training is always a GREAT idea for a dog who's learning the ropes:) that way, when you're not home, you don't have to worry about them getting into much trouble, and when you are, you can catch him, and correct him. Crate training is simple. You put him in his little crate, and then walk out of the room. he WILL whine for a while. Sometimes QUITE a while...the minute he stops whining, immeddiatly go into the room, and praise him, and give him treats. By doing this, he'll eventually learn that his crate is a good place to be, and also a safe haven for him, when you're away:)

i have two cocker spaniels and i find that if you give them a chew toy that lasts a long time it works. you could also try getting a kennel and put the two dogs in (just make sure its big enough). be careful though with the kennel i put my 1 year old cocker in the kennel and he got out (we even locked it with a leash) and he was locked in the spare room, and he has separation problems and he DESTROYED the door trying to get out of the room. my mom found these rlly good toys they are a bone with a ball in in the middle of the bone and the two ends screw off so you can put chewy disks on the bone and it takes them a while to get the disks off. it work RLLY good.
hope these work .

These dogs are displaying classic separation anxiety behavior. At this point if you have not been to obedience classes then you do not have the tools to apply correction. You need to attend obedience classes with the dogs. This will teach you about dog behavior and how to teach your dogs good behavior.

to give up the crate escaping, purchase a kit of tie wraps from the greenback keep and once you bypass away in basic terms tie wrap it close with one or 2. once you get homestead you may in basic terms decrease them off. appears like fairly some artwork yet once you bypass away the pkg of wraps and scissors close to the crate it basically takes some seconds every time. in case you think of she could chew in the process the tie wraps, placed a blanket over 3/4 components of the crate and on the 4th open facet placed a heavy field or shoe so as that she would be able to't push the door open. to give up the chewing once you're homestead, once you notice the undesirable behaviour say on your maximum dominant voice whats up! to get her interest. while she seems at you, say WROOOONG, drawn out and a similar low tone every time. you may try clapping loudly as you walk in direction of her and eliminate despite she's chewing. i exploit a twig bottle for my canines while he turns into shielding or runs away with despite it truly is he's chewing (with in basic terms water) and it works large. additionally, make constructive to play fairly some chewing video games with your canines! Get a chew toy and throw it around the room, have the canines fetch it and then she would be able to chew for a couple of minutes, etc. every time your canines is going immediately to her toys instead of a forbidden merchandise, compliment her and get in touch with her a robust woman, pat her, take care of her, etc. you may desire to have the two tones of voices: happiest person alive, mild and intense-pitched, then low, dominant, severe and you may desire to have the flexibility to modify decrease to and fro in a straight away! stable success with your houdini domestic dog :)!

Provide him with lots of chew toys & chew bones. Give him something to do.

That's just the way those dogs are. Don't buy anything expensive.
