So sorry to hear about your and poor Riley.

You got some good suggestions about ignoring Riley when
you first get home until he settles down.
I feel for you, sounds like poor Riley is suffering from
anxiety being locked up in the crate.
(Sheba has that too)
Sheba loved her crate, but the door had been
removed, so she had the freedom of
going in and out as she pleased.
A few years ago, Sheba, and I attended
a Dog Camp, the dogs had to be crated when left
unattended in the room. I was gone for
less than 2 hours. And when I returned, she was soaking wet
with drool, and so was her bedding.
I never locked her up in her crate again.

Other than what was suggested about a dog behavorist
for the crate etc. and maybe trying to put him in his
crate for short periods of time and working towards longer
periods of time.
But if neither works,
I would not leave Reily in the crate locked up.
Imagine living through your worst nightmare, and that
is what poor Riley is going through when left in his crate.
JMHO
