what can i do to help my dogs separation anxiety?

i have a pug that i have had for 2 1/2 years. hes fine when i am home. when i leave for school or work i hear stories from others in my house when i get home about the dog. he barks like crazy at people that come over the house and people walking outside on the sidewalk. i am gone for 8+ hours that he is home. i want to stop this.
any help or suggestions?
i cannot afford another dog. im a college student and paying for him is enough for me.

There are a couple of things you can do. First, does he sleep in your bed? Dogs that sleep with their owners have terrible separation anxiety. If so, get him his own little bed. The other thing – and this takes time – is to practise leaving. Put your coat on, give him a treat or his favourite toy, then leave for a minute or so. Then come back. 15 minutes later do it again for 2 minutes. Repeat this extending each time you leave. he will then begin to see you are coming back. good luck.
