I normally have male dogs but I have a 3 year old, unfixed female that thinks she needs to in the same room as me constantly when Im at home. Ive never had a dog like this before but its starting to irritate me. She follows me from room to room, when Im walking if I turn around to change directions I will run into her because shes right behind me. Its starting to stress me out a little, and im normally pretty laid back. Ive tried scolding her when she follows me closely around the house but it hasnt helped, might have even made it worse.
I know female humans are more prone to anxiety and other mental issues and Im curious what others experience has been with female dogs, do they tend to have more issues also? Anyone have any good solutions because, working from home all day, it gets on my nerves having her following me around constantly... If I lock her out of a room im in, she will lay outside the door and whine every few seconds until I let her in, which is worse than not having her in the room with me. She doesnt need to be right on my lap or anything, and if im in sight of her, she seems fine laying on her bed across the room or whatever, but she really doesnt want me to be out of her sight most of the time....
Breed is a half golden retriever with unknown sire. Shes about 55lbs and looks like a yellow lab kinda, but smaller and thinner.
