Separation-related behavior of dogs shows association with their reactions to everyday situations that may elicit frustration or fear

Abstract Separation related disorder in dogs is a multi-faceted phenomenon. Dogs can react to the absence of their owner due to different inner states such as fear, panic or frustration. We hypothesized that dogs that are prone to frustration or fearfulness in other contexts would show a different b...
