As I said, I've always trained all my dogs... I've NEVER had this issue with any of them.

That sounds like a good place to start. Rather than having a neighbor watch him all day, how about just asking them to take him for a walk and playtime for an hour or so perhaps once or twice while you're out? I suggest this because he will still need to learn how to cope when alone.

Just like not two children are alike, there are no two dogs alike. I have three...and I couldn't have found three more different personalities if I tried.
