Maya may be dealing with anxiety, or it may be another medical issue. There are many causes of anxiety, and it can at times be a complex condition to treat. However, there are many things that you can do to help alleviate stress and help your pup feel better. I would advise seeing your veterinarian to rule out any medical causes for Maya’s behaviour first. After that you should make sure her environmental needs are being met. Consult a reputable dog trainer or veterinary behaviourist about the best way to do this, and visit the link below for tips on how to reduce separation anxiety, if that's the type of anxiety you mean: http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=3144
