Is he ever in the crate or a different room while you are in?

Next door are having problems with Bullseye as they expect him to settle on his own after spending 100% of the time anyone is home with them.

Ok, does he have a fave toy or treat or anything?? Something you can use to make him being alone a good thing.

For example, I fostered a gsd x who had SA. Her fave thing in the world was a teddy. But I only ever gave her this teddy when she was going to be left.
She soon started running to her crate quickly as soon as I got teddy out. I took him away from her as soon as I got home and took her a long walk.

He's still a baby, don't forget. Hm...what else can i suggest.

Ok why don't you see if you can get some 1-1 training with a trainer? maybe a trainer can help you train the SA out of him. Don't give up just yet hes still a baby.

This is a good read. Separation Anxiety In Dogs – How To Treat It

I think its a valid point that you shouldnt give into any attention seeking behaviour such as jumping up.

Whilst you do need to interact with your pup, try to do it for set periods of time, otherwise pay him no attention.
