I think my puppy, Ellie, has separation anxiety and may be claustrophobic. She freaks out when I leave, showing signs like screaming, clawing, biting, pacing, drooling, and shaking. She also seems to bond more with my roommates and strangers than with me. Additionally, she gets annoyed when I walk her because she wants to eat grass and small things on the ground, but I hold her leash too short. How can I help her feel less scared of being alone in her playpen and train her without becoming a nuisance to her?
