I my experience with this breed, its seems that he is very upset that you are gone. If he is trained on a pad, perhaps it would be better that you only put him in a room with a closed door or better still, a gate. I have used both for mine and the gate is better, not so confining. You must learn to read your dog as you would a child. These dogs are very intelligent and this is a life challenge for you to be able to understand the dog language. I speak French and English to mine, but I understand the dog language very well. Emily at 9 yrs. old has taught me well. She will not back off until I understand her needs. I now know what many of her bark sounds mean and she has a wide language. Take care RR
