We wouldn't have rehomed her as that would have been to stressfull for her,and we couldn't have had her PTS either!
Millie is a very loving dog but wants attention constantly,she follows me EVERYWHERE!,but again after talking with the behaviourist she gave me some advice about that too. The vet recommended a D.A.P plug in thingy to help make her feel calmer and i'm going to try a stuffed kong to keep her occupied when she is left.
Again thanks for the advice,i have taken it onboard and hopefully with the help from the behaviourist too we can sort things out!

Glad to hear, you have spoken to a behaviourist and that she will be staying with you
She sounds like a bit of a stressed out girly
I think the behaviourist's suggestion of a DAP plug in was a good one.
Another few things that might be worth trying if you have no luck with the DAP are:
Rescue remedy (you can get a pets version which you just add to the dog's water.
Zylkene- more info. here=
Zylkene
Anxiety- homeopathic remedy =
Anxiety 15ml
Kalm Aid-

Scullcap & Valerian -
Scullcap & Valerian - Dorwest Herbs
Serene-um-

CSJ Calm Down (added to food)
Calm Down! - CSJ Herbs for Dogs - CSJK9 Ltd.
Might be worth discussing with your vet/behaviourist?
Diet might also be something to look into? What do you feed her on?
Also how long for/ often is she walked?
Hope this helps
