I need help with a problem with Beej. He's become a velcro dog. He HAS to be glued to me 24/7. Aside from the fact it is annoying as all getout, it's dangerous. I've fallen over him twice already.

Something I read makes me think it is a form of separation anxiety, but since I retired we are rarely separate! Anyone having any training suggestions?

There are two aspects of this that are problems. One, is that I have a 75 pound growth attached to my leg. This is a safety problem. One of us is going to get hurt. I'm working on making sure I look down before turning, but don't always remember. The other is that if he cannot see me he sets up a gawd awful racket barking and whine. Literally, if I walk out of his sight in the yard he starts screaming bloody hades!

I love the Big Goof, but am at wits end with him.
