Okay so.. Riley turned one in January.. and we're going to get him neutered soon.. He is potty trained as far as PEEing on the pad, however I can't get him to POOP on the pad.. we're fixing to move to our *new* house we just bought.. and I don't want this mess all over the place.. He's chewing up EVERYTHING he can get his mouth on.. he gets on the bar and gets gum..he's chewed up so gum, and its bad for dogs. He gets into other things..and he's even gone as far as peeing on my clothes and my bed. I'm not sure if the peeing on stuff is acting out, due to us being away from the house a little more then he wants us to be.. I dont know what to do.

My main concern is he attacks our cat. He is constantly antagonizing the cat, to the point the cat won't come out of the bedroom, and he's not even safe there because Riley will trap him under the bed, and all of a sudden theres a cat/dog screeching fight under the bed, that I'm unable to get to. We love Riley very much, but I've gotta figure out how to fix these issues, because my boyfriend is getting to the end of his patience with all this.. especially with him attacking the cat.
Anytime we see him go after the cat, we yell for him to stop, but sometimes he just blocks us out. I'm so lost. I dont know how to fix any of this.
