•  What is Separation Anxiety and what signs does your dog exhibit when suffering from this?

•  Many behaviorists use techniques such as desensitizing your dog or treating them with medications to ease the anxiety - while these techniques may help, they are just band-aids and don't go to the root of the problem.

•  Become a good leader to your dog where you are in charge and your dog will become calmer and much less anxious when you leave.
