At 10 weeks old she is still a baby and like all babies they are very vunerable and insecure, they need to have constant contact with mum. Human babies don't like being shut away from mum either, but with the right handling both babies and pups can learn to cope. Giving her plenty of attention doesn't always work, it has to be the right attention, you need to be teaching her what you want of her, how to behave, good manners etc as well as obedience. For pups clicker training is wonderful, it also builds up their confidence. Due to owners not socialising pups at this time many never learn how to cope when outside and become very fearful so the more she sees the better.

Puppies should be clingy, it is normal for them. They still need a primary care giver close at hand til around 9 months of age and even then, some of them will still want and need, comfort from you. They may want it this week and not next, they may want it for months and months. They may grow out of it and then years later, seek that comfort again. You cannot make a puppy clingy or needy or anxious or hyper-attached to you, by giving them the comfort and security they need, in a way they want, when they ask for it.
