I am home with Scamp during the day every day, he sleeps or plays and is gated in the kitchen sometimes when need be.

But there comes the time when I have to go out and he cant come since he is a D-O-G (crazy I know), to the store in the evenings, weekends we go out as a family, grocery store, etc..and he goes nuts!!! He only barks when I leave the house..noone else..even if i just go to the neighbors to get something, or whatever..

I have had to start crating him when we leave vs leaving him just gated in the kitchen as we initially started when we got him (he is crated at night too by our bed), since he started chewing the cabinet corners and baseboards in our apartment in his gated area! He has pooped in his cage from being left alone even!

He barks LOUDLY...you can hear it in the parking lot, I leave the television on for him, He yelps, chews his cage, and like i said poops very very occasionally.

How do i help this??? I have stood and listened and it goes on for a while..but is always quiet when i return.
