" Why is my dog destroying my house and acting crazy!"
This is a common problem today and we seem to go blind to what we as humans have changed to cause these issues. Today most people have busy lives in and out of the home with jobs, kids , and absorbed into devices. We dont notice how little time we really spend away from a phone, tv, or computer.
The truth is you have to change yourself to change a dog. Dogs since the dawn of domestication were developed to perform certain jobs. Shepherds herd, terriers hunt vermin, bully breeds were fighters, labs are retrievers and so on. It is in our dogs blood and instinct to work and do what they are designed to do yet we dont give them jobs.
Why is this relevant? Well your devil dog who is ripping things apart and driving you nuts is simply trying to exert energy. He is bored and not being used to his potential. We as people have become lazy and dont wanna get off the couch and wonder why the dog has problems. It's not the dog at all he needs a job. You really want to solve the problem its gonna take more than letting him out to potty in the yard. The dog needs a job. Teach him something research his breed and do a new skill that he was bred for. Or start obedience training and structured walks. Yes this means spending time everyday being physical and working for results.
Everyone likes to say they dont have time or they are tired, but everything you want bad enough you will find the time for. You have to work at it there is nothing in life that's free and your dog depends on you. A dog doesn't want to be bad he wants to please you, give him an opportunity to shine.
