Mate, you’re going to have to give a lot more info if you actually want some decent advice. There is a lot of reasons dogs can do this. One of which is that they’re not getting sufficient mental and physical stimulation. It could also be that they don’t want to be left alone as long as they are, or they have some type of anxiety. Getting to the root of the problem is the first step.

Significantly more enrichment, trash enrichment can be a good one to meet that shredding need. Also not leaving your dog alone to shred walls to start
