Can any one help Debbie, she wrote...............

''hi just wondering if anyone can give me any advice.I am really at the end of my tether with kai,he is destroying the house.Kia is never left on his own for more than a couple of hours at a time,probably 3 days a week.Not every time i leave him but id say most of the time he destroys something,today it was 2 of the seats on my new leather settee,i just dont no what to do with him.Ive tried leaving him and driving round the block and coming back,then building the time up etc...kai has 2hrs a day exercise a day,and a toy box,hide treats when i leave him,i no its not boredom,its a seperation thing.I have a kennel and run outside,which i put him in sometimes but he gets very stressed in there,but it looks like thats where he will be going in future when i go out.Kai is not desructive at all when someone is at home with him,can anyone help,i just feel that im banging my head against a brick wall at the minute''

Kai is 15 months old and a hooligan, he live with 2 elderly mongrels, he has a grade 5 heart murmur so Debbie does not want to do anything to stress him too much.
I feel so sorry for her, Kai is wearing her down

Sounds like hes too dependant on her, she could try ignoring him more in the house, putting him in the kennel/run sometimes while shes there etc so he gets the chance to be without her but shes not far enough to stop the destruction. I'm sure it would take a good few months to see any difference though, its a slow process.

what about putting him in a crate when debbie goes out
