The jack that we had could also be destructive. We found that he was destructive when he was bored. Make sure your dog has something hard to chew on that is always available. I recommend the Galileo by Nylabone, it is about $15 but will last a long time. Jack's love to chew and are quite intelligent, so toys like Treat Balls and Sphereicons where you can put treats inside and they have to work to get the treat out will help keep them stimulated. I have also found that putting a ball under a laundry basket will be the dog busy for a long time! Oh and above all crate train and keep the dog confined when you are away. Dogs are den animals and will enjoy having their own den to snuggle in while you are away. HTH, Crystal
