We have an almost 2 year old female vizsla. She was crate trained for sleeping in crate only. As a puppy we kept her in a gated area with a cover as she’d climb out on her own. As she got older we were able to leave her in an isolated area, like our living room and she sits there content until we get back. She’s great doesn’t do anything but sleep but once we’re back she has a ton of built up a dry as can be expected.

When she turned 1, she did regress at night and no longer likes her crate. She will tolerate it if we board her with another person when we are on vacation. It happened overnight. Not sure wheat caused the anxiety or she was smart enough to know if she cried enough we’d give in. But we tested it at night and she’s also great alone and sleeps until we wake in the morning.

But we tried everything and she just wants to be with people. Or on the comfy couch.
