The dog likely has separation anxiety. Get him a Kong toy and fill it with peanut butter or other soft food and stuff kibbles inside. Save this special treat ONLY for when you leave, so he can associate you leaving with getting a special treat. Trying to get the food out of the Kong will take him hours and this keeps him busy while you're gone.
It's also possible he's being rated too long if you are gone for many hours. If this is true, try to get a family member/friend or neighbor to comeandletthe dog out for a bit each day.

Can you crate train an adult dog?
yes, if you introduce the dog to the crate properly. don't just shove it in there and leave it alone.
During the crate training process where are you supposed to put your dog when you leave while you are still trying to get him comfortable in his crate?
Crate training is the easiest way to housetrain dogs, and it also teaches them how to settle down and entertain themselves when you're gone. However, crates won't work if they're used to punish a dog or keep him "out of sight, out of mind." Use the crate only when necessary, give your dog plenty of breaks to stretch his legs and to play and bond with you, and make crate time more pleasant by stocking it with toys.more information:http://dogtime.com/housetraining-crate-training.html
My griffon dog is crate trained is it ok to leave him alone out of the crate now that he is older?
It is definitely OK to leave him outside the crate if you trust him not to destroy your house. Many dogs get bored when they are home alone and start chewing on furniture. We let my dog roam the house when we were not there when she was about 2 years old.
At home with cratetrained 5 mos dog - over last week when out dog destroys inside of crate including sending bottom tray out of crate - today tore up carpet under crate HELP?
They sell plastic crates that are entirely enclosed in solid plastic except for some windows at the top. These crates would prevent your dog from being able to get to the carpet under the crate. If you do not want to go out and buy a new crate, put some chew toys, such as raw-hides, and other toys in the crate to keep your dog entertained. Your dog is destroying things because he is probably bored.

If you make going to the crate a punishment what happens?

Should you cover a crate when dog is in it?
Usually, it is not necessary to cover the crate. It depends on the situation. If the dog is not expected to sleep, leave the cover off so that he can see whats going on around the crate, like if it is a puppy being crate trained. If the dog is expected to sleep, but his surroundings are distracting, a cover may be useful to block out disturbances. If the rest of the household is calm (for example, at night), a cover is not usually necessary, but if the dog is being noisy and refuses to be quiet, a cover may be useful to calm him/her down. However, it would be best to use this as only a temporary solution. Ideally, the dog should be taught that noisiness in the crate is not an acceptable behaviour.
