First I would like to thank everyone for their input, all agreed it is a 
puppy thing and he just needs exercise and training.  Most everyone also 
suggested crating when not able for Mr. Bogey to be supervised.  These are 
pet owners, who don't really believe in the crating, their poor choice, 
because yesterday, after me finding the second hole in the wall from 
Saturday evening to Sunday afternoon (no he wasn't left alone all that time, 
left at 2 a.m on Sunday morning, back at 7:30 a.m, at 11:30 a.m and then at 
5 p.m.when found holes), that is exactly what I did with him, since I needed 
to run some more errands, before being able to stay until his human dad 
returned.  I haven't encountered such a wild one myself, had some other 
issues, but none that ate holes in walls, I just wanted to make sure I 
wasn't missing something as well.  I tried talking this couple into not 
keeping a puppy from the litter they had in November, but since it was going 
to be the only litter that they were going to have (really bad experience 
with co-owner and breeding) they decided to keep a male.  He really is a 
good boy, just needs training, which I've told them, they not only have the 
2  yr old human, but a new baby will be arriving in September.  It's really 
kinda of interesting since I help train this wild ones' mother, they called 
for help when she was 6 months old, Hoolie is now 6 yrs old, but she 
(Hoolie) sits away watching this wild child, it's like her eyes are saying, 
that's not being very smart!  Some have said when he jumps to turn your 
back, well, that works until he comes at you from the back, all corrections 
to him are playing, so positive reenforcement with treats is working better, 
and having him sit immediately does work better.  Now, if I can just get the 
mom, human to be able to work on this, but with her having a problem 
pregnancy, and a 2 yr old, it is taking major time.

Thanks again everyone!  Much appreciated....
