Hm, yeah, that's a tough one! If ignoring and any of that other stuff doesn't work (I was going to suggest pennies in a can but obviously that didn't work lol) Hm, wish I could help you more.

The only thing I could think of as a last resort, is an electronic collar, but not to shock her. They have collars that simply vibrate as well, so it doesn't hurt them, it just startles them. It may have to be what you have to do for such a case. I know others will probably disagree with me. But it's ridiculous to have to have a dog biting your ankles and barking at you when you leave a room.

She probably has bad separation anxiety and thinks you are never coming back. Have you tried just leaving the room, acting normal, and then returning a few seconds later to let her know you ARE coming back? Pick up keys as if you are leaving, and then just turn right around and come back, etc? Get her to associate "leaving" with something good. Whenever you leave, and come back, she gets a treat or something.

I'm sorry - I wish I could help more.

I heard there was an episode of the Dog Whisperer like this with a Yorkie, but I haven't seen it.
