How do I keep my do from destroying furniture when I leave home?

Every time I am away I come home to a mess. My dog has chewed up the living room furniture to the point of embarrassment. I love the dog and right now am afraid to buy any new furniture. HELP PLEASE!

1. Your dog hase anxiety issues. Try putting him in a crate when you leave home.
2. Give him two tennis balls or something else he can chew up and destroy instead of furniture. SPray bitter apple on the furniture. Or you could crate him.
3. How old is your doggy? Is he a puppy. If he is a puppy don't leave them the roam of the house. Leave then in the kitchen with a gate or something but never free roam of the house. Also try some Bitter Apple Spray. Also I agree with the crate. And give him some toys:) If he is an adult read above:) Good luck!!:D
4. This sounds like you need to crate train, it can save your house and help you keep your dog.
5. These are your options: Crate the dog when you can not supervise it. or You can pay someone to dog sit everytime you leave your home.
6. Here's a simple way: Crate the dog while you're not home. :)
7. Ahhh, don't leave the dog loose in the house when you are not home. It's like leaving a 2 yr old child alone loose in your house. Crate the dog or leave him in a laundry room or bathroom or put up a baby gate to keep him in a certain area of the house. Leave him with a stuffed Kong or two to keep him busy.
8. He needs to be crated when you are not home.
