The couch scene.....I ever tell you about Frenchy, the Cairn Terrier?
Frenchy did in two couches. Made the one in the video look an amateur. Seat and back filling from two all over the place. He had a good time. I fenced him off after that. He was named for Frenchy Fuqua because he was little, black and fast.I've heard the theory that a lot of this destructiveness comes from separation anxiety. Animals get so stressed at being in the house, left alone not knowing if or when their owners were coming back that they end up destroying the place.

I got him from a family who knew jack about raising a dog. They told me they put paper in the kitchen and he never bothered going on it, went where he pleased, as in he was supposed to be programed to know. He came around, it took some effort. He lived 14 years. Liked beer too. He was a pistol.Wasn't Fuqua a Pittsburgh Steeler?
I could never put up with such destruction in my house. Some dogs are just not suited to live in the home. If a dog went ape on me like that, not only would he dearly regret it (if an animal does not respect you, and by respect, have a little FEAR of you), you will never control them; there HAS to be consequences. They HAVE to know the fear/reward ratio for such behavior is just too high not to inhibit it, along with training.
Short of that, some dogs are just too big, too high energy that even if you train them, tire them out, you still cannot leave them alone or in the house. They must go outside, in a dog house, garage, basement, somewhere.
Honestly with some big dogs, the only, best way to own them is if you have a really big, enclosed yard they can roam in, and come home, go in through a dog door, and crash in their own dog pad area made for them.
