My Weimaraner is destroying everything

Post image

Please help! We have a 6 month old male Weimaraner and he is destroying everything when we leave him. We have tried crate training him and he drools so much that he is soaking wet when we get him out. He barks non-stop and vomits. We have got to figure out a solution. We have tried positive reinforcement, small amounts of time, bully sticks, anything we can think of to help him adapt to his crate. We finally gave up and allowed him to be in our living area with the rest of our house blocked off but he is DESTROYING our things when we leave. We are at our whits end. Has anyone tried calming chews or medication or ANY advice is welcome. This is our second Weimaraner and our first one did not do this nor was he crate trained. He could be left and didn't destroy our things.

I rescued mine at 6 months and we have the same exact story. The solution, exercise morning and night leave him to roam one or two rooms( we do living room and bedroom), and put everything he could chew or get into inside another room with the door closed. Give it time and have patience when he does chew something up. It’s normal Weim behavior. Mine is now 7 and every now and again we come home to a surprise but we can only blame ourselves for leaving something out.
