Unfortunately there isn't a quick and easy solution to your dog's weird obsession. You can try spraying a product called Bitter Apple or No Chew (look at the pet store) to deter him from chewing there. Also make sure he has plenty of other (and safer!) things to chew on. If those don't work, you may consider crate training or training him to wear a basket muzzle to prevent him from getting in trouble when you are gone.
