I to have dogs with SA, Smudge used to destroy the house and if given the chance will still try to trash part of it or get in to things he shouldn't when left alone. I've found that even with the training and we attempted it all that over all the crate training was the best way to go at least with my dogs. At least when they are in their crates I know that they are safe and not getting in to anything that they shouldn't be, also in the long run it's better for the dogs to know how to be comfortable in a crate.
