This! Some dogs have terrible separation anxiety and totally trash the house when the owner leaves them alone there... or trashes wherever they are being cared for while owner travels. Rather than deal with that properly through better training, they just take the dog EVERYWHERE...
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

I've never had the need to fly with my dogs. House sitter or kennel works great.

When did dogs being dogs and chewing up shit when the owner can’t provide enough stimulus become “separation anxiety”?

When the triggering event
is
the departure of the dog's person --
'ACE' had been neglected - Just left alone in an outdoor kennel...
he was eighteen months when he came to us --
when I was there - or in his crate in the car he was fine --
The day I left him in his crate in the house for twelve minutes ,
it took me four hours to pick-up the destruction he caused After he destroyed the crate and tried to break out of the house through the kitchen window...
Poor , wonderful , 'Ace' ...
absolutely 'separation anxiety' :

Get out there and do stuff!
Enjoy life to the fullest!!
See you on the slopes! "

Fake Service Dogs......
I was talking about dogs doing bad shit when you’re gone. Like tearing up a library book. Mine usually do it several hours in, and it’s just boredom.
My one dog does get crazy separation anxiety, just like ACE above. That’s almost 100% of the reason why I have 2 dogs now. He’s chill with his sister around.
The difference is exactly what I reference above. “Separation anxiety” is my dog doing a cool $2,500 worth of damage to my car interior upon being left alone in the car for 10 minutes.
Being bored and chewing shit up is spreading the stack of library books that are on the table to be returned into little soggy pulpy pieces all over the floor in the living room and dining room. 3 hours in to a 7 hour stretch. Slowly, quietly, deliberately, like a fucking technician, while I watch from an hour away.focus.

I yell at them through the camera intercom. Something about the voice being distorted on the speaker or their knowledge that I’m not actually there and can not do shit to them makes them completely ignore me.

I buy the separation anxiety idea rather than boredom. A dog can lie around the house doing nothing and if it's owner is home it doesn't tear up stuff. Dogs are about as social an animal as there is on this planet.* Maybe people who don't work or travel should be the only ones who should have dogs. I understand the impulse to take dogs places they don't belong, for the dog's sake, not the owner's.
*Acccording to a friend who has one to guard his horse, Anatolian shepherds don't care for people but prefer the company of farm animals. Their job is to kill wolves, although coyotes will do in a pinch.
I was listening to an NPR piece about dog eyebrows. Dogs have a muscle that raises the inner sides of their eyebrows, which helps them look up at their owners and also gives them an appearance appealing to humans--big eyes, which is what makes babies cute.. Wolves (and huskies) lack that muscle.

Fascinating stuff. I wonder if that NPR piece had to do with this study since Ars also just did an article about it:
