Whilst it is all well and good using distraction methods like those above to tackle your dog's boredom, the only real way to address the issue in the long-term is to take time to interact and rehearsal your dog.
Normally dogs will just love being with their owners. If you are reasonably active and going about your daily business they will consequent you colse to and find this very interesting. Even though you might be busy, take some time to write back them and have a 'quick play' with them now and again.
When you have more spare time to spend with them then make sure you give them fullness of bodily and thinking exercise. bodily rehearsal can be achieved by walks or throwing a ball. Explore how much rehearsal your breed of dog needs and make sure they get that most, if not all, days. As well as giving them this bodily exercise, try to introduce them to new sights and sounds, and situations so that they need to use their mind a lot. One approach would be to take them to visit a friend's dogs. Also you could play a game where you hide their food colse to the house so they have to hunt it out with their sense of smell. an additional one option is to buy one of the new activity games that are now appearing in the shops. These have been designed to encourage your dog to use their mind to solve simple puzzles to get the reward of a treat.
Try out some of these routines and you will find that you dog will come to be more relaxed and is more likely to be sleeping peacefully at your feet than arresting in negative or destructive behavior.
