Hi, I'm new to this forum. I did extensive searches but came up with nothing.
My 9 week old German Shepherd puppy has separation anxiety. Or perhaps lonliness anxiety. When ever me or my partner leave the room she howls and carries on. It's not such a huge issue when we go to work since we have another dog and he seems to keep her company.
The problem is that when we take her for walks, it's mostly to also do errands, except she won't stay outside of the supermarket (or any store to be exact) without someone there with her. Even just being tied up and walking away from her makes her howl and try to escape her harness.
I know she's only 9 weeks and we've only had her for 3 of them, but this really needs to get under control ASAP.
Any suggestions?
