You are not alone here. My boy, Roo, gets very high strung and thinks his mom is in harm's way. I have put him in another room and crated him. He will carry on for hours at a time. It is nerve wracking. I had gotten so desperate that I've even put him in the car (parked just outside my apartment so I can check him). I have used a "husher" --a soft, elastic, stretchy muzzle that minimizes the barking. I would leave a frozen, stuffed kong with him--which would keep him quiet for a short while. We would play with the music turned up. I had a loud fan on in the room where Roo was kept. Sometimes my Dom paid for my munchkins to stay at doggy daycare for an afternoon or day. Consistent training would be ideal; however, it was difficult to train for consistency when my former Dom would visit every 2 or 3 months. After all was said and done, though, Roo would be released and had to check on mom to make sure everything was ok.
