Any dog can suffer from separation anxiety, but usually it's the high-energy dogs that exhibit the worst symptoms. This behavior usually shows up within 20-45 minutes after the dog is left alone, and can include barking or howling, scratching, chewing or digging at the door or windows, and an "accident" as a result of the anxious feeling the dog is having, even if he or she is housetrained. In addition, your dog may follow you from room to room when you're home, doesn't like being outside by himself, acts depressed or anxious when you're getting ready to leave, or is overly excited when you come home. When I adopted Rosie in July, she would whine, yip and twirl continually when I came home.
