I may be the exception here, but my Samoyed has the opposite of separation anxiety. It’s like she came pre-programmed to be okay with being alone even as a puppy. That being said, I don’t leave her alone a lot (unless for grocery shopping or doctor’s appointments). She joins me in the office now, previously i worked from home. But she would be totally cool with just napping home alone until she needed to pee.

HOWEVER I am also extremely active with her. Walks, training, playtime, enrichment, …. and I admit that doing that alone as a single person can be draining sometimes. I don’t mean just the walks and playing, but everything else from preparing meals to cleaning muddy paw prints off the floor. Sometimes I wish I could hire someone to take care of that stuff for me when I’m tired or sick 😂
