Over the years, I have had a couple of dogs that had separation anxiety. Yours seems to be suffering from the same problem. Among the things that I have had tried with limited success are things to divert the dog's attention away from your leaving or from being alone. As the old saying goes, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.... Well, something like that seems to help with dogs. I suggest something like a nice big rawhide chew, feeding him at the same time as you are leaving, or making him a special treat to give him as you are leaving. That seemed to help with my dogs. I also tried a device called a "barker breaker" that was sold at the local pet store. It "hears" the barking and gives out a piercing whistle. The theory is that the whistle distracts the dog so that it forgets why it was barking. It gave me limited success. The dog would bark just enough to run down the battery. I also had a beagle that did not like to be left alone. I tried a lot of things with him. After trying a number of things to distract him while I was leaving, I had success with a pork barbecue sandwich. Every day, as I was getting ready to go to work, I would make him a sandwich of pork BBQ. He became conditioned to expect that, and would be quiet when I left. He was a strange dog. When I ate my supper, I put his food down at the same time. He would not touch his food until I was finished, and I put my plate on the floor for him to lick. Same thing every day! No matter what I fed him, he had to taste my food first.
