Problems when I leave the room - separation anxiety?

 So    came home to find he's jumped the puppy gate chewed two more did the door frames..    so hard not to tell him   off but I know it not the right thing to do... 

So  frustrating  never known a dog like it.   I'll chase up the pet behaviourist later.
 
Every dog is different.

You are right to not tell him off. It only increases the anxiety around being left and makes everything much worse. Not only are they upset at being left but anxious about you coming home too!

The behaviour organisations, mentioned above, will want a referral from your vet. If he hasn't been for a while then you can save time by getting him checked over. Some vets will refer without seeing the dog but others insist on ruling out any health problems.
