    Angry Dogs and what am i doing wrong?

    sooooo i have two Dogs(brothers), they are pit and lab mixed. ive had them since they were 5 weeks old, now they are a year. ive been trying to train and make them better and not tear the house up when im away but its just not working. today they have pulled half my carpet back from the subfloor in my living room, chewed up my new table, 2 of the girls bras too. mind you there are 15-20 toys out for them to chew and play. im out of options. maybe call the dog whisperer? any help or hints or tricks?

    They must have a lot of pent up energy. Are they getting regular walks or trips to the dog park? Is your yard fenced in so they can go out and play?

    I'd start with morning walks of at least 30 minutes.

    Steel toe boot... Perhaps send them to a training class and work with the trainer to get them whipped into shape.

    crate train them ,., ive got 2 pitts that are the best dogs in the world when me and my wife are home , but the second we leave and they have free roam of the house or even locked up in the same room together something is going to get ate and destroyed , so we lock my female up in a crate and my male gets free roam of our bedroom or even free roam of the house as long as 1 or the other is locked up nothing gets destroyed
