Seperation Anxiety

I think my 15 month old puppy is going through seperation anxiety and everyone helped me with the aggression problem I had previously but she is still stuck to me like glue. Last sunday we were at my son's soccer game. I had to use the rest room so I handed her off to my adult daughter to hold she does not fit in a porta potty. From the minute I took a step away she started barking and crying loud. I could hear her from 3/4 of a block away. She did not stop until she saw me coming back and my daughter let her off lead to run to me. Yes everyone thought it was funny and cute because she missed her mom.

Then yesterday I had to run an errand when I got home my neighbor was out laughing and said from the moment I left Phoebe was at the window barking and craying and didn't stop until she saw me pull up in the car.

How do I fix this one

Here is a link with some real good information on Separation Anxiety-

I share your pain :wink: We adopted Panda in September and she has separation anxiety big time (destructive, howling forlornly, drooling terribly, pottying in the house/crate, chewing on her feet, etc.) We think hers was from being rehomed too many times (3 homes and 1 shelter before entering rescue in her brief 10 months of life). We had to go the medication route because of the severity.
She just started this about two weeks ago. I don't want to put her on meds. She does not chew, or potty in the house just sits and barks and crys
I know... there is no need to do meds with what you've described. If you visit the website it has ideas on how to break the cycle without meds. There is a section titled "Discourage Hyperattachment".
