My male aussie has been breaking out of his kennel and urinating on my bed & furniture after a move. Help?

We recently moved into a new house. just when I thought he might be settling in - he started even worse behavior. he has always had a kennel (wire/see through) & seemed to enjoy "his" space. During a recent storm he tore it apart. Afraid he would injure himself, I replaced it with a carrier type( plastic sides) for his confort & saftey. He promptly ripped the door off. He has become obsesive with play time(won't put the frisby down and come in) and now is urinating in the middle of my bed. (not "marking", but saturating) and furniture.
I have tried longer walks & exercise & affection, eventrying "calming" aids from Fosters and Smith. And have not had much luck. He is a family pet & loved very much - but I am out of ideas and at my witts end. Any suggestions? Please help!

I would first consult a veterinarian to make sure that he doesn't have a urinary tract issue. It could be a UTI, stones, etc...that just happened to coincide with your move. My second recommendation would be to consult a licensed behaviourist. He may need some behaviour modification and possibly some anxiety meds.
