my dog will not stay by itself, every time we go out it damages the house, ripped the floor in kitchen, ripped carpet off bottom step of stairs, left him for less than an hour other day and he had jamp up and ripped my blinds down.
when we go to bed he will sit and scratch the door and chew the door frame but soon as he in bed room he will just go to sleep.

I know it sounds weird but you have to teach your dog that when your gone your going to come back . Do training exercise where you leave but stay outside the door. Start with short time and then longer like for 10 minutes or so. It is the repeation that gets them do it until when you leave there is no whining or scratching after awhile they understand okay he leaves but he going to come back . Also try a kong or something that keep him/her busy. Some dogs get destructive when bored. If it continues and you can't take it anymore talk to your vet

You have a breed of dog that unfortunately for you requires a great deal of socializing and exercise. This breed is a people breed and once it bonds it does need to be with his people. A vet has no cure for the problems you are describing. Huskies are not indoor dogs by nature, they need a secure outdoor space to free run to wear off energy and exercise. Failing this, like most breeds that are left pent up indoors when no one is home will commence chewing and digging. At this point if you do not have a secure outside kennel area for him then you could look to either find a room for him to stay in or crate train him. But, if you tire him out before leaving, you will see a much more sedate pup. As previous poster noted, short term outdoors and re-entering can sometimes help reassure the dog that you are not away at all. The other option is to monitor through a window. When you see the dog start to do something that is wrong, correct it. Generally just hearing your voice is enough over a short period of time for the dog to realize that though he cannot see you, you are able to see him. Leave the TV or a stereo on, this can sometimes calm a dog when it is left alone for periods of time in the home. Good luck.

The first thing you have to do is determine weather this is actually separation anxiety or something else. Many times dog owners think that their dog has separation anxiety but in actuality it's just bored or tense.

I would recommend this: if you can find 5 days in a row where you can dedicate to this, give your dog as much exercise as possible, at least 3 hours of heavy exercise each day, (not just a walk around the block, but heavy exercise running jumping playing with another dog etc...) it doesn't have to be three consecutive hours but a combined total of at least three. After 5 straight days of this, see if the condition of his state of mind changes when you leave the house. If it improves then you know that the majority of your problem is exercise related and you can then slowly decrease to a more regular, hour to hour and a half minimum exercise a day. These dogs need to blow off steam, especially if it is a husky, they were built to run.

If this does not help the problem then you know it's probably more mental and in this case it is more likely actual separation anxiety (SA).
Another way you can tell is to watch the body language of the dog as you are getting ready to leave the house. If it's actual SA then the dog will show signs of stress long before you actually leave the house. He will start to become anxious when you do things like pick up your keys, put on your shoes/coat, or do any other thing that you normally do when getting ready to go. If the dog starts to either; pace/pant/drool/whine any combination of these things or any other compulsive things like excessive licking or chewing.. this is definitely SA. Also if your dog does have a severe case of this it's almost guaranteed a kong or a bone wont do the trick. At that stage they usually wont accept food or toys.

If your dog does have an actual case of separation Anxiety I will be happy to outline some other things you can try. It will take time and patience that's for sure.
First please try the exercise thing and let us know how it goes.

All the best!
