It's very easy to think of separation anxiety in a young dog as simply misbehaving, but this is not true. We have to understand that dogs are pack animals, in that they socialise and live their lives in an order that is created by the pack. Dogs are not naturally solitary animals, so being left alone is alien to them and suggests abandonment. It is actually quite amazing that we can get a pack animal like a dog to stay on its own for any length of time at all, without causing undue stress.
