welll.... perhaps trying to leave him for 1 min at a time and gradually make the time longer and longer over a few weeks time... and never make a fuss when you do,,, but be sure to do the same thing over and over,,, a routine for when you go.....like filla kong with peanut butter, put on your shoes, grab you coat, put him in the crate, smile and say see ya later finn, then turn on the radioand leave. do something like that in that order EVERYTIME you havee to go... perhaps he will then understand that if you leave,, you WILL be coming back and he wont be so upset?? It could also be the new place and perhaps he will need some time to adjust to the new place.....
