Awe - Toby is a puppy! He is likely bored when he is alone. Try and get him toys that will occupy him - a good chew toy, a kong filled with a mixture of kibble and a small amount of peanut butter (frozen will last even longer!), there are lots of options at pet supply stores! Also, make sure Toby has plenty of exercise every day - a tired puppy is a good puppy! Long walks and playing with balls outside will tire his body and he will be looking for a nap when he is left alone. Good luck! Thank you for using pet coach!
