People used to think that if a dog panics when left, it means they love its owner. But Gregory Berns, the author of “What It’s Like To Be A Dog,” says that’s not always the case. For some dogs, panic is just a sign of separation anxiety, and it’s not necessarily an indication of love.

Leaving your dog alone at home can be a nerve-wracking experience. The best way to know if your dog enjoys being left alone is to observe them when you leave. If the dog goes into its crate or is calm when you leave, it’s likely that the dog trusts you and feels confident that you will return.
