Ive been leaving my dog outside the past 3 days. He has access to a fully fenced yard and covered screen pation. I put his crate by the doggy door so thats as far as he gets inside. He has really taken to this. Right before I leave for work he goes outside and gets his treat. When Im home he gets nearly full run of the house and I still find him in his open crate chewing a toy or sleeping. So for now the destruction has ended. I appreciate all the replies.
