Tactics for Breaking a Affenpinscher of Separation Anxiety Is your affenpinscher depressed? Is your absence sparking a little separation anxiety in your canine? A lonely affenpinscher can make for a depressed, anxiety-ridden pet. When humans are sad, they can vocalize their feelings, exhibit signs of detachment or even take an anti-depressant to cope. But, when affenpinschers are left alone, their separation anxiety can go undetected and ultimately lead to behavioral problems.

Instead of playing with your affenpinscher and making your departure more emotional, feed your affenpinscher a small meal and hide treats and toys around the house for him or her to discover.
