Sounds like she has anxiety. If she is not spayed, you should have that done as hormones can be a cause of anxiety. I also suggest you contact a local, professional, in-home dog trainer. They can help you with some behavior modification to lessen her anxiety symptoms. You can also try using some Adaptil.
