We have the opposite situation. As soon as we start getting ready to leave, our dogs start herding us out the door because they know they are getting a treat! As soon as we pour our drinks or put on our jackets (they even know we are leaving when we turn off our laptops!), they are in the kitchen, sitting near the treat drawers.
When we come home, sometimes they are downstairs waiting for us, but just as often, they are laying on the bed, floor or couch and don't even get up when we come up the stairs!
We also have a house with a fenced yard and a dog door, so they can go in and out as they please, which can't hurt, but I don't know if that helps!
I can't imagine having to deal with what you are going through. I guess we have been pretty lucky. I would say having two dogs helps a lot, except JB and GG have two dogs. So I don't know.
