My dog keeps tearing things up

Me

I just moved to a different city and at the moment I don’t have a job so I’m with my one year old Aussie collie a lot. He’s very clingy and my friend says that when I’m gone he cries. For the last couple days I’ve also noticed that he’s been tearing things up. I put him in the closet for 5 minutes since he likes to lay in there and when I walked in to check on him, he had already gotten ahold of something else. Any solutions or reasons for this? He’s been fine and has been eating/drinking good and he’s been playing and active like normal so I just don’t get what’s going on with him.
