Separation Anxiety

My 17 month old sheepdogs is having bad separation anxiety with me. Has anyone experienced this and if so what did you do to stop it. I want to nip in the bud before it gets out of control. I have had 5 OES's and none of my other ones had separation anxiety and I have trained them all the same???????? What causes this anyone know? Would love feedback!

I am not sure what caused it but all our sheepys have gone through this and not when tiny pups-more like when 6-8 months old. We would go out the door for a few mins saying "just going shopping" ( heaven knows why we say that but it just cam out easy!!) and then come back in,doing this daily for longer times and in the end they knew we would be back and no barking though Sprocket does bark when he sees us drive up the driveway and leans against the front door making it hard to get in-daft dog!!
