| I can't offer advice since I'm home so much except that you might want to post again during the day when the site is busy. It's pretty quiet here in the wee hours of the morning

| If you're closing him into a small room, using a baby gate instead might help. I'm not sure how old he is but we use it for diesel and we place it just high enough he can't jump it and just low enough he can't get under it. We put his bed in with him along with his water and some toys, a chewy works great, and he is good to go! Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com App

| Use a crate. Allow him to have indestructible toys like a kong or nylabones. Get a dog walker to come exercise him of drop him at doggie daycare a few days a week. Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App |

| Might want to invest in a crate and an x-pen. Also have someone stop by the house around 12 to have him fed and be able to let out and stretch.

| Crate training worked great for us! Also, it might help to have someone stop by during the day to let him out for a walk to get some of that energy out.

| How old is he? 7AM-2PM isn't bad at all for an adult dog, but for a younger dog, the 7 hours may simply be too long to expect him to amuse himself and sleep. General principles: crate train and work on making the crate a happy, mellow place. lots of exercise before and after crate time stimulating toys for crate time (like a hard kong with peanut butter painted on the inside and then frozen) |
