Large breed dogs tend to mature more slowly. At 13 months, he is still a pup. There is nothing wrong with crating him when you are going to be gone. These problems are difficult to correct, because you have to catch him in the act. Once he is done, he has no idea what you are yelling at him for.
Crating when you are not home is not cruel. However, should he get into something toxic (and chocolate is toxic in large quantities) while you are gone, the death could be very painful.
