Suzy, Thank you so MUCH for taking your time to post all of that helpful information! I really really appreciate it!
My problem now is trying to decide if Mickey actually has Sizy anxiety, or if he is just being a fresh puppy. He doesnt shake, and he dunnest bark when we leave, he kinda just gets this sad look on his face.... and proceeds to trash his pen.
After doing a lot of research on it, and reading everyones posts on here, I am thinking it may NOT be "real" separation anxiety - or maybe it is just a mild case. So I guess that is my real question.... do you think that what Mickey is doing sounds like separation anxiety, or is he just doing 'puppy things'?
He is six months old now.... will he grow out of this, and if not is it separation anxiety? Any tips on getting puppies not to dig in their water bowl? He only does it when we are gone, so he is obviously NOT happy about us being gone? But is it something more serious than just fresh behavior? HmMm...
Thanks Again everyone for all of the helpful info!
