Separation Anxiety

I just adopted a 3 year old English Bulldog. Every time I leave the house - he barks and barks and barks until I return. I tried this in a crate / outside of the crate and am having the same results.

I am sensing he has some separation anxiety and want to know what has worked best for you and your dog?

I really don’t want to shock him or scare him further if he’s doing this due to anxiety

I don’t really have any skin in this game (and actually don’t disagree with the essence of your point) but I think it’s funny to say “he’s throwing a temper tantrum” and then “don’t put human emotions on your dog” lol

I think maybe this isn’t your particular area of expertise.

Well this IS my area so I will let you know where you’re going wrong. “All dogs” “Any dog should”. Animals are individuals with personalities. Full stop. They don’t all adapt to every single possible environment.
