[nagdu] Separation anxiety?

[minh ha]

Daryl,

Jenny is probably just bored and looking for attention when she
follows you. My dog has the same problem when I'm in my dorm room and
I go to talk to my roommates/people in other rooms. You could try
doing more obedience exercises with Jenny like making her stay for a
longer period of time. I did this with my girl and she's doing a lot
better with staying when I leave her alone in the room
