When that kind thing isn't mentioned in a post, we can't know if the dog is getting outside and walked frequently or played with a good deal or anything but where you have a dog chewing a lot, part of the problem can be boredom and just chewing to do something as that one little room is boring for long periods of time.

Usually when a dog is well exercised and has a lot of interaction with its family, it learns to just nap and relax when they are away, busy about the house with other things and store up energy for when the family is available. haha.

So, just wear that little one out in walking, exercising, playing, training in addition to the adding the chewing toys and kongs filled with kibble, etc., if you aren't already doing that.

If you are doing all of that with the dog already, just ignore this post as it doesn't apply but just wanted to add those thoughts in case the dog has a pretty sedentary life!
