Here are some of the behaviors to look out for: tearing up toys, window frames, or pillows, going to the bathroom in the house, excessive drooling, panting, and pacing.

Here is how Christman says to help your pet:

-Give your pet a treat just before you leave
-Don’t make leaving a big deal, just leave
-Come back a few minutes later like nothing happened
-Your pet will get used to you leaving as you practice and extend the period of time you’re gone
-Don’t scold your pet for separation anxiety or the behaviors it causes
-Use medication if necessary
