I have to agree with Dog Dancer. I have 3 dogs in my home and my GSD continues to have separation anxiety even with the other 2 dogs and 6 cats. The only time he is calm is when mommy is in the home. I admit that his behaviour is because he does not get enough walking in the morning which is 45 minutes. If I were to be honest, he should get a minimum of 1 hour but time does not permit...my fault.
What I do give him however now is a puzzle toy along with a stuffed kong. Neighbours have told me that he does not cry as much when I first leave the home. It went from hours of whining to 10 minutes of caos for him.
I am certain others have great advise to assist you.
