Bella is addicted to my 14 year old daughter and is near distraught when my daughter leaves. She whines and cries and runs around in a panic and she won't eat or drink. She calms down after a while but is sad and depressed and still no eating or drinking. For 3 days now Bella has had to be without my daughter for 4 hours a day and she doesn't seem to be getting the clue that my daughter returns and everything is OK. What can I do to break this addiction?
I have other questions but will make other posts as this would be way too long.
Thanks,

Well how about doing something fun and distracting for Bella? After your daughter leaves, take her for a walk, play games, give her something else to do and think about.
Bella is still quite new to your home, and separation anxiety is pretty common with a new pup.
Hope she settles down soon. Let us know how she is doing
