So today is a first day my German Shepherd pup is crate free while I'm at work...

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.

      Film on Panthers defensive failure. Same scheme issue over and over

      By SCO96 · Posted

      Evero has his faults, but even in that loss, the team only gave up 20 points. Your post gets to the heart of the matter. We are not a talented team on defense at this time. Some of our younger guys may develop w/more playing time, but for now we have no impact players at LB or EDGE. We could really use a ball-hawking S on the back end as well. We have exactly two players that have to be accounted for on every play, D. Brown, and J.Horn. Mike Jackson has been solid. The other starters would probably be backups on most the upper echelon NFL teams. We really can't expect this team to a Top 10 defense with such a lack of talent. All things considered I've been somewhat impressed with how much better they have played this year.   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-points-per-game   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-average-team-passer-rating We are in the top 15 in terms of points allowed per game (22.6) and top 12 in defensive passer rating (88.9). And, we are doing this without a formidable PASS RUSH. Even our rushing defense has improved. We are #16 in rushing yards allowed per game (116) compared to 179 per game last season. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-rushing-yards-per-game I wouldn't cry if Evero moved on after the season, but his defense isn't the biggest worry for our team.

      The funny part is she looks older and not in a good way...

      How about some line help, both sides, first. Trade XL before talking about a 1st round WR 3 years in a row. Or a TE or...drum roll...a QB to pair with a vet.  And if it's not a speedy route guy with hands then just hard pass.
