He may have separation anxiety.....also, some dogs are not meant to be in crates. Our Snickers was in a cage the 1st 10 weeks of his life and could not go back into one after we got him. We used an open baby play pen eventually which helped a ton. I would recommend an X-pen. Also, if you decide to keep crating him, keep the crate where you are, in the busiest part of the house and if he is sleeping in it at night, keep the crate in your room. Dogs are pack animals and you're his pack now, he wants to be with you.
Good luck!!
