I have a dog that has separation anxiety.  Every day when I leave to go to work, his little chest goes in and out, and the anxiety starts.  This breaks my heart when he does this, however I must work so we can eat.  Lately I have been trying various Dog Obedience techniques to help combat this problem.  Out of all the techniques I have experimented with, crate training seems to work the best.  In the morning, right before I leave the house, I place him in a small crate, along with a blanket, toy, and water.  He seems more secure, and the anxiety is almost gone.
