actually,separation anxiety is not mainly exhibited by GSD's alone & is more common in dogs living together with their owner/s than dog/s living in kennels.that is not to say that dog's are best to leave in kennels but in general,owner behavior & dog-owner bond usually has something to do with it. these dog/s often exhibit this behavior as a result of,& mostly owner mistakes such as lack of socialization,to much pampering/spoiling by the owner/s & incorrectly praising or cuddling the dog during anxiety periods (thus allowing the dog to think it has done something right).in fact,i've observe this mostly in small,toy dogs who mostly belong to ladies who are soooo fuzzy with their dogs who often cuddled their dogs too much that the natural instinct of the dog/s are diminished and also owners who treat their dog/s as "babies"...i frown when i see this as it is unjustly cruel & corny.

furthermore,if dog/s are raised properly,with their natural instincts in mind thus making it behaviorally balanced and fully desensitized to everything,as well as,dealing with positive behavior with a minimum of fuzz & properly correcting and/or ignoring the negative behavior,then separation anxiety (& other would be behavioral problems) will not be exhibited by ur dog

i consulted this case from a dog expert from the US via facebook and heres the explaination about separation anxiety of my dog and he is very "TUMPAK".in my dogs case its not about, "lack of socialization",too much pampering and shes not spoiled at all.

1.Bella is very socialized dog.off leash ni siya before and halos tanan tambay sa amoa makahikap niya ug very friendly pa jd ni siya sa mga kids.
2.wa pod ni siya nako gi gi pamper pagtaman cge nako gi correct iya bad behavior and she is potty trained na kaayo.
3.wa pod ni nako siya gi spoiled.if mupatoo siya nako sa akong command ill give her treats but if dili then dili pod nako tagaan.di pod permi ni siya gi cuddle.

but mao ra ni dayon iya giingon nako nya iya jd natag anan.

"perhaps your gsd was removed from her mother too young or her mother were unavailable"

actually,bella was separated from her mother after 2 days nga gi-anak siya cos nagka complicate man gud to ang delivery sa iya mom and wa pod gatas iya mom ato na time cos tiguwang na kaayo.so gi separate dayon ni "sila" namo,but unfortunately siya ra ang nabuhi.

@sir humper: thanks for the idea daghan ko nakat-unan sa imong gi-post sir.

aw mao ba,we'll that explains why bella is so clingy with u coz ur the one who raised her diay,she thought of as a surrogate mom but u knw wat,its very worth it coz ur bella is growing up so lovely

nywy,with regards to ur adviser's statement it could be but it could also be not kay i also have a couple of similar experience,the first one is my 1st litter of japanese spitz way back early 80's(an accidental mating of brother & sister) out of the 4 i fostered,only 1 survived-the only female.this dog was nurtured very well she even has her own crib and as she grew up she's doesnt have any separation anxiety to us but its more on the other way around, she is more on the independent & stand offish side but she's very tolerable to our affection.
2nd is when i already an intern.i happened to rescue a newly born mongrel pup from the Dogpound in cebu,the pup fell under the cage still in an amniotic sac.in fact we named her OLBA (One Lucky BAstard) hehe having some experienced from previous experiences i raised this pup with average handling & make sure that she was in the company of my other dogs when im busy,also to imprint in her the lost time that she supossed to have spent with her own kind (her mom & littermates).i bring her with me when went home to our province in cotabato.and that dog when fully grown has all "dog" in her no confusion of any sort or separation anxiety.

hope to meet u & bella on march 7 @ UP,it will be an honor

[Nutley]

OT: nakatawa ko sa OLBA,sir.

on topic: i hope ma correct na ni siya nga di na mo shagit inig lakaw nako.so far nagka minus naman ang iyang pagsyagit.
bitaw sirhope makasuroy mi ana ni bella inig ka march 7 para pod ni siya malingaw og maka apil pod ug mga games cos shes very playful gyud.
