A Tip for Separation Anxiety

If your dogs are destructive or suffer from separation anxiety, could it be the way you leave them?  When you give them treats and “baby talk” to them before you leave, do you notice their tails wagging in excitement and enjoying all of the affection and attention you are giving them?  Do you throw their ball a few times for a game of fetch and then lock the door behind you?
