Dog house training can be difficult because sometimes you only find the destroyed object after the dog has done the deed and has gone off to do other stuff. It's best if you can catch your dog in the act of destroying something. It's the same with dog potty training; it's easiest if you catch your dog doing it.
If you do catch him in the act, immediately take the object away from him and say in a deep voice, "No!" then "Baaaaaad Dog" several times. Don't hit him or yell at him. You can use this technique for other bad things your dog does, such as jumping up. If your dog has a crate, you can try shutting him in there for 15 minutes and leave him alone as "punishment."
