This is what i walked into when i got home from work...
 I'm getting so frustrated.. That was my bed. (I moved in recently and don't have a mattress.) Oh, and I know there is a crate, but he's broken off the welds and bent it so he can get out. Its more of a injury hazard for Gus than it is a container.. |

Sorry, other than finding a better way to confine him I have no suggestions. I myself used the plastic crate shown above for several dogs and it did a very good job of containing them.

Wow. That looks like a frenzy. I don't have any words of wisdom. What if you tired him out before leaving and gave him something to chew on? Of course, in a new crate.

This is a great idea. There are a lot of toys out there that you can put treats in that will take a few hours to get them all out. Also, my dog was a crazy destructive beast as well until I figured out that she needs an extraordinary amount of exercise. Before I leave for work she has to have at least 1 walk, an hour of training (more to tire her out mentally but it also benefits me) and a good hour of fetch. Now I am also a 2nd shifter w/ no life so its easier for me.

Have you consulted a behavior specialist? Could it be separation anxiety? That requires more than tiring him out.
