I have a friend that has two dogs (they got them together as pups) and they were terrible about this. They would put them in the garage when he and his wife would go to work and they would howl and cry all day long. The neighbors all complained to them. Eventually they got a trainer who had them try a few things. The thing that ended up working for them was to put the dogs in their bedroom with the TV on. The dogs could then lay on the bed and had human voices around and could smell the owners clothes and sheets. They would cry for a few minutes when they left, but then they would stop and calm down.
