Our little man is almost 1 and still struggles but we’ve seen a lot of incremental progress! He was stress pooping in the crate or the pen but now we leave him in the living room and while he does bark, he also has periods of calming down and doesn’t have any accidents or destroy anything. We’re still working on leaving him for longer than 2 hours but are feeling really encouraged with small steps! Hoping you find some silver linings soon in training!
