Thanks again guys, he goes out every day with his mate Jackson, a very energetic Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and we go to the local dog friendly park where they socialise. Today we got no destruction, so maybe he's settling in, hopefully

Most (not all) of my dogs have been through destructive phases, and it has thankfully passed in all cases. But some less patient and loving of the "dog inside the devil" might have given up. Rugs, remote controls, furniture, pet beds, shoes, artwork, are among the sacrificed items. Just when I'd think I can't stand it anymore, it would stop. And I give tough love - if I'd catch em in the act they knew it was bad - i'd put them on their back and stare them down. I also think having multiple dogs helps - I think the last one, the youngest/newest, who was really good, was policed some by the others - but who the hell REALLY knows what makes dogs tick, after all? I look back on it all as part of the experience of living with dogs, which I wouldn't trade for anything.

Mine had the post the other day if it makes you feel any better

I know you said long walks but nothing replaces off leash time, especially with other dogs. You just can't replace the energy spent with actual running and play vs just a brisk leash walk. Huskies need to run, I mean they are sled dogs after all. And as you pointed out with a shepherd combination you now have an incredibly smart dog with enough energy to bounce off walls
I guess you have only had him for a week so you are building trust and rules and boundaries, is running next to a bicycle or being pulled on a long board an option? Or a dog park with off lease areas? -
I think he's got that covered…

Yes, beautiful dogs, and a great shot of them too.

Any updates on your latest dog @Megatron1505 destroyed anything else?

We bought some anti chew spray at the weekend and covered all the soft furnishings in it, so far he hasn't chewed any of them since but he has destroyed all of our fridge magnets and paperwork on the fridge….little fucker.

they are fuckers. Mine had the eurostar tickets the other morning! Luckily we caught him in the act and he had only eaten the envelope. I find it is pretty much the weekends when i have lay in he is at his worse. It's like his way of saying "oh you're not taking me out at normal time? fuck you then, i will eat your post!" -

Thanks @davito , I honestly believe that a dog can be a very important part of a boys young life, it was for me.
