Tanner is perfectly fine left alone with full run of the house and yard access. If I close the doggy door and then leave he barks and destroys doors. I might be moving when I'm done with this school and I don't think I'm always going to be able to have a yard that he can have free access to. I don't want to crate him because he does so well as a deterrent and normally has good house manners. He also has a history of biting wire crates to the point of his mouth bleeding.
He doesn't care if I close the door while I'm home and he will stay quiet if I'm working in the yard. How do I make the leap to him being fine with me completely gone? I can't even get all the way to the mail box without him starting to bark that high pitched "somethings wrong!" bark.
I don't have neighbors right now so he can bark for awhile without it disturbing anyone but I can't afford for him to cause much more property damage.
I would work on gradually getting your dog to accept the crate. Make it a positive place where good things happen. Feed your dog in the crate, put the dogs bed in there to sleep at night. Give the dog lots of praise when it goes in the crate. Initially close the door for just a minute or so and work your way up from there. Make sure the dog has toys and raw hides to chew on when it is in the crate. If your dog gets upset, slow down the process. Getting your dog crate trained is worthwhile no matter where you end up living.
