6 1/2 yr old Boykin has in last year or so has seemed to develop “separation anxiety “ from me.

Lot of days he goes to my office and will stay under my desk or in a kennel in my office when clients are in and out of my office

But when I leave him at home in kennel we come home and he is soaking wet from slobber and apparently scratch and bottom of kennel. Wife said he does this when I leave before she does


Even at my office if I have to run out and leave him in the kennel he does same thing . My office manager laughs the way he follows me every where I go in the office

He has been “kennel trained” since a pup but in last year or so it seems he is not happy in it He does sleep in bed with wife and I at night

We leave him out in the house when we are gone for short periods of time, 4-5 hrs but longer than that I put him in kennel.

Any ideas what has caused this all of a sudden and what actions can or should I take.
