He is kept in the kitchen while we are at work and we have never had an incident. Today i come home to find a gaping hole in my wall!!!! I was so angry I couldn't believe it. He knew I was mad because he ran under my kitchen table. I yelled at him and put him in his crate for an extended time out while i cleaned up the mess. Not only was I livid but also worried that he might of eaten some of the plaster and made himself sick. Nikko is 1 year old and I know he is way past his teething. Why is he doing this now? What can I do to prevent him from destroying the rest of my walls? Now I can't keep him in the kitchen so i have no clue what to do with him while I'm at work. Any suggestions from anyone would be greatly appreciated. I am so frustrated right now!!!

Sorry to hear you are having trouble with Nikko, he is most likely bored. Buy a folding fence and put him into it with his food, water, toys and open crate, and pee pad. Make it safe for him, the fence will keep him in and out of anything that could be harmful or destructive. The fence serves as a playpen. I use one daily with two of my girls. The fence can be purchased at PetSmart or Petco or you can order them from the internet. Good luck!
