You can try distracting him with chew toys, or treat dispensing toys. You can also make sure there's a comfortable bed available and turn on some white noise or a soft radio in the room where you want him to rest alone. Crate training can be very helpful as well if you haven't done that with him. He is very young still, so he will likely outgrow some of this behavior as well. In the meantime, here's some info on crate training, and you can consider hiring a trainer to help you as well. Good luck with Hercules!
