Thank you 🙂  Yeah he’s starting to get a little better.  We leave him in a crate when we leave or else he gets very upset from missing us that he jumps up on the door and windows trying to get out.  We found this out the hard way when we came home to the molding on the door torn off and the window pane scratched up.  When left in his crate he cries for a bit and then calms down (we recorded him one day to see how long it goes on for).  Only a couple of minutes.  But I think in that time too is when he flips his water bowl.  We give him a lot of love and kisses when we come home and in the morning.  Was there any other special training you’d do with your dog to help him out?
