Keep departures calm. Big emotional goodbyes made our dog more anxious. A predictable routine helped.

A trainer or vet behaviorist can help if it is severe. Separation anxiety is not just stubbornness.

Start with very short departures and build slowly. Leaving for an hour right away can make panic worse.
