Scooter mostly chewed things when I was there. LOL. I crated him when I left because I was afraid he'd eat the house. I don't think there was any separation anxiety going on he just had so much energy, he couldn't be left alone for more than a few minutes or he was into something. I even had to put him outside or lock him in the bathroom with me when I took a shower.
