when no ones home, adopted him from the pound about a month ago.

I give him tons of attention, walks, he sleeps with me, literally follows me around the house.
But when I leave the house, even just to walk down the road, I come back and the garbage can is tipped over, blinds are mauled, things are pulled off the counter etc.

I'm getting him a kennel today and going to try to get him accustom to it without him thinking its a punishment but I'm not exactly sure where to put it.
Either A: in my room where he normally sleeps, or B: in the living room area where I am when I'm home and not sleeping.


Any other ideas to calm him down when he doesn't have someone immediately here to give him attention?

He will still have anxiety in the kennel.
I used to come back and my dog would tip his kennel over because he was fraking out so much

Little dogs (Ofc talking about inside dogs) often get anxiety attacks. It's fairly common among them, or atleast any that we've had or anyone else in the family has had.

ah, mine is an inside dog, but he's a heeler/black lab mix

uhm, exercise him more,

watch that "it's me or the dog" show, they usually have answers

I usually walk him every couple of days. and I'll see if its on netflix lol

walk him every day imo

stop mixing methamphetamines into his dog food

slip him some doggie downers... no really lolz it works

Just gotta wait it out i believe. If you've watched the movie 'Miley and me'
