Our dogs get walked in the am between 6-8 then again at offleash with us or dogwalker between 11-2. Then again in the evening. They get lots of exercise and are very friendly and happy dogs.
I did use the shock collar to correct his recall which worked well. I have been trying it in the yard but the hard part is catching him actually chewing the deck. I will keep trying that and also try spraying different stuff on the deck.
For now I put up boards so he cannot get at it.
This is the type of siding he is ripping off.

How about ripping up some 2x2 lengths of cedar or hemlock. Get him chasing those. Have a few laying around in the yard. A friend has two Rottweilers. They're older now and have grown out of it but they chewed the heck out her deck, baseboards and even drywall. Either it's the taste or the texture, but cedar and hemlock worked. But once the squared edges were gone they wanted fresh pieces.
