you need to deal with the nervousness before the chewing. try to determine why the dog is nervous or is it an irritation in the leg itself. did it start before or after he was left at the kennel. could be an injury picked up at the kennel. if this was the first time he has been left at a kennel then it was a long time to leave him. he must have thought you were not coming back. the attention you gave him on return due to the leg could cause him to believe that you will not leave him again if he continues. these things need to be checked out by a vet.
