Have you tried a petcam? You could watch what he's doing on your phone and see if he settles down after a while. It's possible he quietens down and naps when he knows you're gone and starts crying again when he hears you returning. You can find monitors that allow you to talk to your boy or dispense treats, but the basic ones do the job!

Yes agile, it's Gromit
The course lasted 8 weeks and involved basic commands such as sit,down,stand,stay (10 secs),basic recall, meeting a strange dog, an unknown human, play with a toy and give it up, walk on a lead in a controlled manner. They also have to tolerate a bit of handling, ie ears,teeth etc.
Owners have to be aware of the legalities of dog ownership and care.
Now we have signed up to do Bronze i am a little worried because someone has told me you aren't allowed to use treats :eek:
Malaika is the type of girl who wont do anything for nothing :rolleyes:
Thank you everyone for your lovely comments.:) -
I bet you'll be fine for the next level. I'm sure your instuctors will tell you how to wean Malaika off the treats. It's really about increasing the duration of work-time before rewarding.

Congratulations to Malaika and obviously to you as well Shelley. She looks very pleased with herself and so she should!
