I had to take a long leave from my job (which requires me to be on my feet), and it was my driving foot... So I was at home pretty much all the time for about three months. The dog probably thought that this was how it would always be, so needless to say that when I started to get back to my life, he was upset. He had pretty bad separation anxiety for a while. But, here is my point; he eventually just grew out of it. It was kind of weird... My neighbors used to say that he barked the whole time I was gone, they recently asked me if I had any device to prevent it, because they didn't here him bark anymore... I know it is weird, and it might not be the case with your new dog, but maybe he is just distraught over the change. Keep up all the good things you are working on now, but maybe all he needs is time to get used to things. I am no dog professional, but that may just be the key...Oh, incidentally, someone recommended getting a second dog. It may sound like double the work, but usually it's the opposite. They keep each other entertained and tired. Just a thought.Best of luck.</blockquote>
