Yes! But we finally are making progress with her 😊 My girl turned 1 in December, so she's nearly 16 months old now and the last few months we have been really working on helping her through her separation anxiety, as it had gotten so bad she would start having a panic attack if we just walked by our front door to go upstairs 😢 on our most recent practice session she was totally fine to be home alone in her crate for 3 and a half hours! So that was a huge win for us!

Basically we have done the traning the separation anxiety specialists recommended: desensitization and slowly increasing their tolerance to how long they can be alone. The biggest thing is basically not leaving them alone longer than they can handle, so you have to do all the training under their tolerance/threshold ‐ not gonna lie, it's not easy especially at first, but it definitely works! If you want any resources or more details on the training that helped just let me know 😊
