Let's take a short break for a Top Dog Tip....

Start as you mean to go on. Leave his toys in his dog bed. If you want, leave something with your re-assuring scent on it. Give him a quick stroke, say "going out" and point to the door. Walk briskly to the door, and close it.

Go in to another room. Stay there for 10 minutes, then return to his room. Act cheerfully, but don't make a big fuss of him even if he is whimpering. He'll quickly learn how to exploit the situation if he thinks he only has to make a tiny squeak and you'll come running.

Don't allow him to become over exuberant in his greeting. Repeat this exercise as often as you think neccessary. Gradually, lengthen the periods of separation. And the times of day that you do it. Fairly soon home alone will become as normal as his walks, and not a reason for anxiety.
