We have a 14 week old German spitz, we’ve had for 3 weeks. She seems very scared and nervous when coming across people she doesn’t know, or if new people come into the house. She’s only been able to go on walks from today due to vax, but I have been taking her out into town in a sling so she can get used to the outside world. She sleeps in a crate at night, but by my feet during the day whilst I work. She seems happy with me and my partner; she seems a bit more attached to me which I appreciate is normal due to spending more time with me. However she seems overly distressed if I leave the room to go upstairs to have a shower. Even if she’s with my boyfriend and not alone, she’s almost crazed to get out the room and only settles when I return. Any suggestions please would be grateful. I’m happy to try crating her for her naps during the day, however I don’t want to distress her too much and cause further issues 😩
