HELP!!!!!!!!!

Hello my name is Chanae and I have a 9 year old Wippet and every time we leave for as long as a weekend he ripps the house apart he ate the door and destroyed the back room doens any one have any suggestions?? I think that it is sepporation angsity??

This is indeed seperation angsitity. Some Whippets can be so attached to their owners that they are unhappy when the owner is at work. This can result in howling, barking, and extreme physical distress for the dog. Whippets have been known to destroy their crate or break out of a kennel when left alone. This behavior may be reduced or eliminated by adding another Whippet or other pet to the family. Two pets may be content in each other's company during work-time hours.
