That is classic dog separation-anxiety stuff.
Ignoring the dog for ten minutes
before and after leaving makes a huge difference.
Don't say goodbye. Don't greet hello.
Just walk out and walk in.
Scolding the bad habits may help in some situations, but usually it makes it much worse
It is not the root of the problem.
The problem is he wants to be with you. His buddy.
And he will tear up anything in his way.
People (like me) need to be trained as well.
Dog language is completely different.
There is a good educational series here:
