Your dog is what I like to call a working dog, a working dog is
intelligent,loyal and full of energy.It seems to me that your dog is
showing signs of bordom from simply not having enough to do. You must
provide your dog with stimulation such as playing catch, running in the
park, ect..if you leave your dog alone, inside an apartment for long
periods of time, they can become very destructive, which is a form of
acting out..bottom line is they miss you when you are away and it is
extremely hard for high energy dogs such as yours to just lie still and
watch tv. If you would like to learn more about how to correct your
dogs behavior send me an email to and I
will provide you with some strategies that I have developed over the 30
years I have been training Guard Dogs.
