It is hard but you have to ignore this...
you can try things like leaving a shirt with your smell, or playing a radio, or even leaving a ticking clock close to him..
The other thing you can do.. is try not to make a big deal of you coming or going. Do things very straightforward. You don;t need to engage your dog in a discussion as to why you are leaving and when you will be home... this just makes him think you leaving is a big deal... and when you do get home... or return to him don't get him all excited... a little pat on the head and a few minutes of quiet time before you sit and pet him like mad will help him not seem so anxious.
Good luck

Put him in a crate where he can see you and start going out of the room for short periods at a time.He will soon learn that you will be back.When you have to leave the puppy for long periods do not say anything to the puppy just leave and do not say anything to the puppy when you return.He will soon learn that you leaving and returning is just a normal part of the day.

don't do what that other person said about slapping it around. that will eventually make him or her mean. just give the puppy a toy or a bone to chew. that might help. the puppy will be too busy chewing the bone it wont notice your gone. i got some stuff at petco it was a red fire hydrant looking thing that u squirt with some flavored beef or something. its like squirt cheese but 4 dogs.

Its tough, but you just have to let him whine. Eventually he'll stop. If you keep going to him everytime he cries, he'll pick up on it and never stop! Try giving him something that smells like you, like a blanket or something.

It will take time but the puppy will stop once he relizes u arent in the room it will take time.. and once he gets alittle older he will quit.

Leave a shirt or a clothing item that has your scent in his bed or where he lays. It helped with my dog.

Slap him around a bit. Then he won't be so sorry to see you go. lol
