I would also highly recommend crate training your pup. It may take a while, but it'll be well worth the time investment in the long term. Something that helped me with crate training my Aussie mix was having a cover for the crate (here's a good example). It gave pup a little more sense of being and security. As for the Thundershirt, I have used one on another dog that had separation anxiety. I definitely noticed that it helped to calm him down. I wouldn't say that it was a complete 180 degree difference, but I found it to be well worth the $40. One last suggestion would be to try a heartbeat pillow. Once more, not something that is going to completely solve the problem of separation anxiety, but definitely an inexpensive tool that can help calm your pup. Best of luck!
I would recommend one of these:
Puppy Toy with Heartbeat and heat pack
Or the more economical version: the heartbeat pillow
Also make sure the pup has a shirt/blanket or something that smells like you to keep it company. My husband is a softie and he slept on the floor for a short while with our pup until we weaned him toward crate use.
