I would suggest maybe putting him in a crate away from the door when you leave. This way he isn't allowed to be anxiously waiting at the door for your return. It may be a little more comforting for him to be confined in a smaller space while you are gone. As far as the leash goes I personally wouldn't let him off the leash. They are easily distracted and could run into trouble if unleashed as you have already experienced. Good luck and welcome to YT!
