I have heard this before too. I read that they freak out when you leave because "the leader can leave his pack, but the pack can't leave the leader." I personally do not understand the connection. It seems like a lot of articles I read say pretty much EVERYTHING is attributed to a dog dominating it's owner. From sleeping in the bed with you, to seperation anxiety... I don't get it.
I don't know much about seperation anxiety except toy breeds are more prone to it. I think I would definitely crate him when you're gone so he doesn't freak out and hurt himself though. |
