ok, it's cute, but you're feeding into it by fawning all over him when he acts like this. You're the humans - you can come and go as you please without any apology or worrying about the dog. You need to act like nothing at all has happened when someone leaves. Let him whine or whatever - just ignore him when he acts like that. When he starts acting normally, then you can play with him and have fun with him or give him a treat or whatever.

When he started this, we usually do ignore it. But this time I wanted to get it on film to show my husband how sad Paw looked.

It just didn't occur to me that this could be separation anxiety, because before he was usually fine when anyone left the house. when he first started doing this we thought well maybe he just wanted to go outside and is waiting for that person who went out to come back in and get him but we still ignored it and went about our business.

Thanks everyone for watching and letting me know what I could possibly be witnessing.
