GSPs are a different breed! They’re quirky and wonderful doggos but they do love being w their human above all else. YouTube has great soundtracks to mellow them out while you’re gone. A thundershirt may help, too, as well as lavender. They are high energy so try to tucker your pup out before you leave. Find a trainer that has worked with this breed before and knows them! Training our family GSPs while I was growing up was very different in approach than training the GSDs we had and that I now have. It’s why every GSP rescue group will ask how familiar you are with the breed… they’re unique but most wonderful and loving. Even if you are not a Hunter (my family and I are not) you may want to find a hunting trainer as they will probably have experience with the breed!
