This helps tighten the bond and connection between you and your pet and will be more rewarding for both of you. This kind of "me time" is often enhanced by providing your dog with things to stay busy -- toys that you can hide food in, chew toys, or some of the new and cool automated toys that release a ball or a treat at regular intervals are all great ways to help a dog enjoy being alone.
Finally, remember that just like you, your dog will need different things at different stages during his or her life. Puppies get tired quickly and short bursts of mental or physical activitiy interspersed with naps can work perfectly. Younger adult dogs might need extended, more intense periods of stimulation. And our senior friends might need something entirely different. If you have any questions or concerns, you should always visit or call your veterinarian — they are your best resource to ensure the health and well-being of your pets.

They may cry or pace anxiously if you, the light of their life, is not in their sight. Showing your dog that other humans are just as nice as you will help them detach from you. Let your dog bond with the other people in your home by having another person feed, play with, train, or walk your dog.
If you live alone, you can still have friends come over and interact with your dog. You can do this by setting boundaries. For example, shutting the door when you use the bathroom or go to another room, and then come back within a few minutes.
Anxious dogs will do anything from whining, to inappropriate elimination in the house to get your attention. A way to correct this is to not reward your dog for needy behaviors.
Rewarding negative behaviors will only enforce attention-seeking behaviors. Helping to desensitize your dog to these actions can make leaving your home less stressful for both you and your dog. For example, grab your car keys, put on your coat and grab your briefcase several times each day without leaving. Soon your dog will eventually learn to stop associating these tasks with you leaving.
If you have done everything under the sun to try to get your dog from following you everywhere, and experiencing anxiety if you leave the home, call a behaviorist.
