I went thru this with my collie a year ago - he decided at 8 years old to suddenly have whats known in the doggie world as "Seperation Anxiety" he needs one or both of the following - a doggie shrink and the equiv of doggie prozac .

I got a great problem solver for my doggies woes - he was chewing up door frames he destroyed two steel kenels I had purchased to put him in so he couldnt tear up the house he got so upset that I left he broke the metal bars and was in my living room when I got home.
I then decided ok its time for outside placement when I leave - so out in the backyard he went -
He broke the boards off a wood privacy fence and make his own Nemo sized doggie door to get out.
He was in the front yard when I got home.
Now I had enuf - off to the vet we went - and the vet suggested the doggie shrink and a chemical called Bach-Flower Rescue Remedy you can purchase it at some local dog grooming places and some health food stores .....

It took about 2 weeks on the bach-flower for his ailment to ease up and he stopped chewing things - 4 drops under the tongue about 20 min before leaving doggie alone or once every morning in his water dish he must get it daily tho you cant miss.

Now hes cool as a cucumber after about 3 months of bach hes back to normal and he doesnt panic when I leave him alone weather im gone shopping or in bed asleep hes a happy doggie!!
