Trust me, we all have been there & feel ur pain...it can be frustrating sometimes when they are puppies and going thru their "phases". It's like the terrible twos! It just takes so much patience, even if you're ready to pull your hair out(or his!)lol but it will pass. Just be consistent with the training and teaching him what things are "no-no's". YOu may need to crate him in a full crate instead of the baby gate method or a XPen where you can put his bed in one corner and food/water and pp pads in another. When i first had my puppy I used a baby gate in the kitchen area where it was hardwood. I kept pads, water and food, toys and their bed. While they're out, you have to watch him constantly and use a firm "NO" or a soda can filled with pennies/rocks every single time he is getting ready to do something he shouldn't. With consistency and patience, he'll eventually grow out of it. I too had the corner of my carpet in one of the bedrooms shredded...she no longer does it & luckily, I was about to get new carpet anyway.

Good Luck and remember "this too shall pass"....you may also want to post in the training section.
