Sorry your have such problems with you little one.
I have in the past used the Comfort Zone plug in. I found it helped
however it's not a magic cure alone. You have to work at him barking
when you leave on a continous basis. Buddy did not stop until around
6mos ago and he is 3yrs old. I tried everything from a barking devise,
comfort zone and finally pennies in a can. The last seem to break the
habit completely. Put several pennies in a can (soda, beer) and shake
it shaprly when he barks when you leave. If you are outside and hear
him you must go back up open the door and shake can saying no barking.
Eventually it will work. You can use it inside when he barks as well.
The more you use it the faster he will catch on.
Potty problems: I can't help you there. Buddy was trained to go
outside potty only and that's what he does.
Good luck
