My name is Marley!

Marley is a great dog. He is very protective. He is loving and not a mean bone in his body. He needs a big yard to play. He loves to run. The only issue we have is he has separation anxiety and has accidents on the floor when we leave him alone. He will tear up toilet paper or paper towel. He does not tear up anything beyond this when he is anxious or upset that he is left alone. We have a crate but view it as a punishment. I'm guessing that his last owners were not able to get him to want to be in it either. I think the right owners may know how to break this. We are concerned because he is 5 years old, it would be a hard habit to break. He is potty-trained when we are home. We got him a month ago and haven't been able to fix the issue. He can catch very well. He can sit, lay down and shake. He doesn't jump up on people, and he does really well with older kids. I am not sure about the younger ones.
