Ok thank you. Maybe crating him just wont be the best option. I assure you, he is with me almost all the time, except when he needs to sleep at night or take a nap during the day. I bring him to work with me. I bring him to potty. Even in the middle of the night, sometimes more than once per night. The problem is not that he's not with me. My family and I spend hours every day paying with him. I think perhaps people are taking one sentence out of my post and responding to only that. I'm interested in figuring out what the bigger picture is, than the 20 minutes he wasn't by my side. And honestly if it was just a gentle whining, it wouldn't be such an issue, as I know that he's crated for a reason, because he needs to sleep somewhere other than my bed because he's not fully housetrained and I have a high bed that he could fall off and injure himself. I don't think it's unrealistic to expect him to sleep in a crate. I'm just tryng to figure out why he's barking as loud as he possibly can, when he's been doing fine for over a month. I'm not a mean person, I do not ignore him or leave him out somewhere in the cold. He is very much adored and a huge part of our family.
Thank you again for your responses
