You will need to do it gradually. Begin by leaving for one or two minutes, then returning. Gradually increase the amount of time you are out. Use a special toy or treat to be given only when you leave. Pick it up upon your return. Don't make a big deal about leaving or returning. If Eli is overly excited when you return, ignore him for 15 minutes or until he settles down. Be patient and be consistent.
