I had the same problem with 2 pits. 45 mins walk 2x a day is not nearly enough. You need atleast an hour jog 2x a day till they are about 3-4 years old. Also, dont let them destroy anything. No beer boxes or recycling. You are telling them its ok to rip shit up. Also, I would not use the backpack idea as that will make a stronger dog that still needs to get rid of the energy. I have applied crushed chille peppers with a little water to stop dogs from chewing on things. Worked on all but a golden and a purebred wolf. However, it will stain some stuff. Mostly, dogs need to run, not just walk. Step up the pace and distance and you will see improvements.
