You might think your dog will just get used to being alone. For a lot of dogs, it has to be taught, a few seconds at a time.
(This works for adult dogs and rescues too, not only puppies.)
Start tiny, keep goodbyes boring, take the drama out of keys and shoes, tire the brain before you go, and leave them with a long-lasting chew. If you see howling, damage or toileting while you are out, a vet or qualified behaviourist can help.
Save this for your next day at the office, and tag someone whose dog cries when they leave.
