Hi, (fairystar here)

Just wanted to nip back quickly and say a THANK you to those who really helped me with advice and suggestions and not judgement and let you know how we are getting on....

The links and PM's I have recieved have been greatly recieved and used.

I am pleased to say Casper is MUCH happier.

We have set up a LARGE pen in the garage, set up fake grass and water and kong with treats and yesterday when left for school run, was fine :)

He did a poo on the grass which was solid, he was calm when we came home ( came in quietly listening for barking) and had eaten all the treats.

He was super excited to see me the first time and a little stressed but the second time much better with his stress levels and NO POO!!

hE OBVIOUSLY just hated the small restriction of the crate when alone.

I have removed the divider and he also prefers the crate now its in the large pen open and not restricitng him to a super small space, so much so, he is sleeping in it better at night beside our bed and actually going in it to lie down this morning when its back in the family room. May have to invest in another crate as its a pain to keep moving it to 3 seperate rooms seen as its a 42 incher !!

He is toiletting well outside and started pre puppy school :)

so thanks all..
