    Separation anxiety?

    Hi, guys. I have this sweet little chocolate lab who just turned five months old a couple days ago. I'm a pre-k teacher and I've been taking him to work with me since I got him at the end of April. He has a crate at work but I also keep him in my class with the kids and he goes outside at recess with us. He's so good with the kids BUT anytime I get away from him for any reason he freaks out. He won't stay with anyone else. He has to be with me at all times or he cries and cries and barks and tries jumping on doors (they're half doors so the tops open) to look for me. He's fine when he's in his crate up there and at home. Even at home he follows me around constantly. Is this separation anxiety?? Anybody have any suggestions?

    Hi and welcome! Have no experience with this as I work at home, so I'm with Mel almost 24/7, but there might be some info for you in this section: Puppy Training and Behaviour and you might also get your answer faster if you tried and posted this there as well. Good luck
