Separation anxiety has nothing to do with being a 'pack leader'. It's pretty self explanatory... they get anxious when separated from their humans. You've been given great advice above on how to deal with it.

Pack leader theory has been debunked by the very people who created it years ago while studying captive wolves. So pretty much anything you read about it is mostly hogwash.

Check out youtube. There's some great trainers, such as zakgeorge21, kikopup, pamelamarxsen, tab289 and more.
