So I am crate training Watson and he is having difficulty adjusting.

He does well when I put him in and he knows we are in another room for a short time…there is some whining but nothing else.

If we leave the house though even only for an hour he gets so anxious there is always a big mess when we get home and he needs a bath.

What can I do to make this easier for him?

@jaclempner: I also have a jumper. The trainer I worked with did the same thing mentioned in jys1011's post. Turn away - even if you have to do it 20 times. They get no attention until they're calm. Rosie can be pretty persistent, but it works. Basically, no dog should get attention when they're over-excited (easier to say than practice - sometimes I just don't have the time to wait them out). Oh I hear that…. "no time to wait them out" :D

I started with a cat toy with a pl bag tied on the end to see if they would be interested before i went any further. The I used an old fishing rod with rope tied from there. Kind of worked the same as a lunge whip. (I'm too cheap to buy one if I don't absolutely need one)
