I have an 8 pound silky terrier who will be 2 in October. Every time somebody leaves the house he goes crazy.

He barks and runs in circles! It does not matter that other people are still in the house. It is like he doesn't want anyone to leave. If we do leave him alone, he will do #1 and #2 on the floor after he goes crazy. What can I do so that he won't go crazy every time someone leaves the house?
Answers:
What to do is go out the house for a minute and come back in again.But ignore the dog don't do anything don't talk to him or stroke him only do these things when he's calmed down.If he starts running in circles just go up to him hold his collar and go and sit on a chair and hold onto him until he clams down and keep repeating this.
He's probably doing this because he looks at you as the owner to him you are like his baby and you just walked out the house and he gets really worried about you but you can't allow im to think that because it just make him anxious.I know you will probably find this hard but i know it works, you just need to persist.
I'd call a professional trainer - this could be a form of separation anxiety that can be hard to deal with on your own.
wish I could help you but I am in the same boat 5 pund pomeranian that does the eact same thing
seperation anxiety. maybe something happened when you were out once
