Your veterinarian can prescribe your Lab something to decrease his anxiety. Alprazolam/Xanax as needed usually does the trick. If your German Shepherd mix is not neutered, I would recommend getting him fixed ASAP. That should stop the issue after a few wks of neutering. It can take several weeks for the hormones to go away after neutering. In the mean time, try squirting him with water or water with a little vinegar in it every time you see him doing it to try and stop him.
