My mini dachshund is a good boy for the most part, but he does have some separation anxiety when camping and not at home.
We just adopted a 9 year old Yorkie who loves camping but barks at every little noise when we are separated and left in the camper. As you can imagine, the Yorkie then sets off the mini dachshund. We only camped with him this past Memorial weekend so we have no other camping history with him. He loves his mom and can't stand being left out of camping fun. They are both fine at home and have a routine, so no issues at home.
We always took a big long walk before we left our Aussie and Cattle Dog behind. Tired dogs tend to be good dogs :-) We took a 7.5 hr Glacier boat tour while in Alaska (A bit longer than I like to leave my dogs, but they are good guys!) First, we did a hike around the outskirts of Valdez.....they were STILL sound asleep when we returned. Seemed sort of offended that our arrival interrupted their nap.
