Hmmm, I think Heidi (2 yrs) is ALWAYS in a clingy stage. Even at home if I'm out of her sight for over a couple of minutes she'll come looking for me. When we go visit my parents (she's use to us being there a lot) they say she paces at the door till I get back. When she gets in her kennel while I go to work (radio is on) she barks at me like she's really chewing me out. But I can watch her on the web cam and as soon as I leave she gets in bed and sleeps 2 or 3 hrs as calm as can be until about time for me to come home for lunch then she starts her pacing again. Even in her doggy car seat, she pants & is anxious. It helps to put my arm up by her, but she's still anxious. If for some reason I let her go with me without the seat she acts as calm as can be. But she thinks she has to stand with her leg on my shoulder, which I don't let happen too often because its so dangerous. I wish I knew how to help her be more calm. I've had her since she was 12 wks old, so I know nothing really bad has happened to her.
