Hubby and I are waiting for all the "Marley's" to start showing up at the Humane Society because people aren't going to want to raise/train them.
People are lazy.
My dog Azure we a terror when she was a puppy, but a lot of training, all done by me withput reading any books, and she has been the best dog ever. She is now 13 and still going strong. She just needs her right back ACL and MCL fixed.
I've had my other dog for over 8 years...I've never "returned" a dog before...but I can't really afford much more destruction. I tried a a crate but he used it as a bathroom. And that made bathing him a joy.

hmm. the crate was probably too big? there shouldn't be much room. if they have an "over here" and an "over there", even a small one, they will use "over there" as a bathroom.
but it does sound like a handful. maybe one small room you could block him in when unattended? with nothing valuable?

As statman said I bet the cage was too big. From what I remember he's a small little guy right? I would get him one of those small cat cages. If you're having that much of a problem w/ him the cage should just give him enough room to stand up and turn around in. If he thinks he can go in a corner and get away from it that's exactly what he'll do.
