You cannot keep him cooped up inside all the time, that is cruel. Pits and Shepherds are incredibly intelligent dogs and need a big yard to put their investigative instincts to good use. If you don't have a big yard, you probably should have gotten a small breed instead. Due to the size and breed, your dog needs to be walked for at least an hour each day to help rid some of his loose energy.He sounds like he has separation anxiety. You need to take the time to exercise him before leaving him alone.Toys are not sufficient enough if he doesn't get enough exercise.</blockquote>
