well, separation anxiety is when somebody loves you so much that when they are without you (even only for a little bit) they panic. It usually happens to rescue dogs. As they have been passed on, they have lost a lot of owners so they love you for rescuing them and they get very attached to you. It happened to my dog. He chewed the house to pieces when we went out! He even once managed to poen the window and let himself out into the street. The handle on the window has been broken ever since. If you have a dog who has very bad separation anxiety, see a dog physiologist. That's what I had to do.

No, a scared dog is an insecure dog. The dog is insecure because it is either not regularly reassured by the alpha of the pack (the owner of the dog), is being intimidated by another dog, or is suffering from an anxiety disorder. This dog needs some serious training and the owner needs to take charge if the dog is ever to get better. The training should involve building the dogs confidence. Also you should take the dog to their vet to check for an anxiety disorder which may be treated with medication.
