You need to correct behavior as it happens...too late now.

 

Now try having a dog that will misbehave and then punish itself. She will shred a paper towel  secretly then I'll happen to see her in her cage....I go in to the living room and find the shredded paper towel.

Something that a behaviorist told us when working with our second dog.

If the dog is left alone and tears things up it will begin to associate that with your returning which only reinforces the behavior you want to stop.

You've got to approach leaving them alone by starting with very short time periods and gradually increase the time.

How old is he?

High energy dogs, and "smart" dogs don't fare so well when young and left out of the crate....too much going on in that brain.

7 month old 70lbs puppy. We left him alone before for short periods of time and he did well. Now he destroys poo lol

Yea, far too young to leave for that long.

 

They don't really destroy that much stuff until they have a lot of energy and are strong enough to do the destroying....

 

I would bet that you may have to crate him for another couple years, or get some in depth training for him.

      The running back situation....

      I see them using Brooks in the passing game a good bit even early.

      The running back situation....

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      If Brooks is fully healed,and they think he is, then we should be better.  We upgraded center and Hunt will be back.   At RB, Rico will turn 28 next month. Hubbard turns 27 next month.  Brooks turns 23 in July.  If Brooks pans out, he was a better college RB than either Rico or Chuba. He has not been taking a beating for 2 years--so if the knee holds, we could have something.   This is what it says about RB: Career Average: Running backs have the shortest average careers in the NFL, lasting just 2.57 years on average. The Peak: Most running backs reach their absolute peak performance around age 25 or 26, with nearly all peak seasons occurring before age 29. The "Age 28-29" Cliff: Statistical data shows a notable 15% to 25% drop in per-game fantasy and offensive production as backs transition from their age-28 to age-29 seasons. Very few running backs sustain elite production past age 30.

      I’ll give him that. I love his belief in the trenches being where games are decided. Because that is also my belief.  And he is not fooling around he jumps all over a goal. Fix the OL. Well it cost but he fixed it.  And fixed it again this year while still getting pieces for the defense.  He has made a couple of mistakes but just keeps swinging after a miss until he gets something done.
