A friend of mine who works dogs says this : "Dogs are a pack animal. In a family they quickly learn where their place in the pack is. The leader can leave the pack without issue. The rest of the pack can't"
What he means is that your dog doesn't see you as the leader or the dominate presence in the pack. You need to teach the dog that it is your world and he is living in it not the other way around. When you have established that you are in charge you should be able to leave and he will be okay with it because he now knows that it is your rules he lives by.
How you do that. . .I'm not sure. My buddy recommends either getting a good book on dog training or hiring a one on one trainer to teach you how to do this.
