I have a dog that we got from the pound, we have had him 3 months, he is 16 months old. He is a very good dog when we are around. When we leave him alone we have a problem. He will get into everything. He does not chew things up , but he will take sheets off the bed, take things off the table, empty the clothes hamper etc. I know there must be an issue of seperation anxiety due to the fact that he was abandoned once. I have a big kennel but I hate to leave him in that , he is a big dog ( american foxhound). Would a muzzle while we are gone to the grocery store or out to dinner to harsh? We can not even go to the neighbors for a cup of coffee and he trashes the house. Suggestions and help please. He knows he is wrong, because when we walk thru the door he runs and hides under the bed!
