	My puppy is quite people oriented. Not a super social butterfly, just content to be around his humans more than anything else. But it's starting to develop into an unhealthy level of separation anxiety and I want him to be comfortable being left alone or just not with his human 24/7. What are some activities you would recommend? He's currently being crate trained but it isn't 100% yet. He's fed in there and it is left open, it won't be "his" crate forever because he will outgrow it.
