So yeah i'm kinda exhausted to deal with that i need some advice I got a boxer x lab he's 1 year old! When i'm home i cant dream of a better dog but
I'm working at night 12 hours a shift and when i'm leaving for work he became the most retarded dog ever, he finds everything he can mess with he jumps on my bar to take everything he can chew...

I've tried these different option:
Instead of running 30 minutes with him before going to job we are running 45 minutes
He got like 4-5 toys and one of them is a stuffit toys that l can stuff with peanut butter
I tried to put him 2 days in his cage ( only when i'm at work ofc not two days long )

None of that is working ... i'm legit about to lose my nerves if anybody got a solution hit me up please before i kms

I have a German Short haired pointer who just turned 2. My house would not survive if not for My 3 year old German Shepherd Labrador to keep her occupied. It's a long shot but some times 2 pain in the asses is better than just 1. They can play with eachother and occupy one another

Just keep him in his cage when your not home. I was against it for a long time but when my pups were destroying my house i had to give it a shot. And they really dont hate it that much. Sometimes they just go lay in there just because now.

Pen him off into one room, I buy my Malinois black Kongs and fill them with treats/leftovers/ and then either tuna fish or cottage cheese... then freeze them.

Dock is busy for an hour or so.

Good choice here, Kong helps for sure. My dog stays occupied with this easy toy.

I keep my dog kenneled while no one is home. Or else he destroys everything.

12 hours alone is too long to leave your dog(especially a younger dog). No amount of exercise or mental stimulation will change that.
How do you think a child would act if you left them alone for 12 hours a day?
There are some dogs that can handle it, but it's not breed specific. Far more often you'll hear, 'my dog is doing x when it's alone.' 'Not my dog just sleeps when alone.'
A dog is not a fish.

Change jobs, come home during breaks, find a dog sitter.
The person/organization who you got this dog from should've asked you how long in a single day would the dog be alone.
If you said 12 hours and they still let you adopt.. Pretty questionable.
Literally it's brought up in every potential adoption.

Oh and the Kennel thing is nice, until your dog figures out how to get out of it. Which if he's destroying your house, he will eventually figure ways to get out of the kennel. OR you'll come home to a dog with a bloody mouth from chewing on the kennel/self inflicted injury.

I'd recommend getting an automated dog feeder and a source of clean water to keep your dog healthy, it'll save you a lot of headaches and money in the future.
Get one of these, you'll thank me later:
