Why does my dog destroy things when left alone? How do I stop it?

Question

Pocholo is back in the stage of destroying things and other stuffs when we are asleep or away to work. I already give him many toys. Is there any possible underlying problem and what else will I give him to calm him down in destroying things. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 1 year old

Kennel him if you are not able to watch him. This will protect your things and him from eating something that may cause an obstruction. Too many toys can lead to boredom. Give him 1-3 at a time and hide the rest. You can rotate these every day so he thinks he is getting something new. If this continues you can talk to your vet about medication.
