The separation anxiety solutions program worked amazingly for us. I did a ton of research online and tried various methods that I found - including gradually increasing the time I was leaving Yogi alone and also leaving him to cry it out in the crate. However, we weren't making any progress. At the beginning, I was skeptical of paying so much money for someone to just tell me to do the same thing that I had been doing. Having a professional opinion of someone who is super experienced in separation anxiety was really the game changer. I learned so much about how dogs experience emotions and anxiety and Gabrielle taught me how to read, understand, and predict Yogi's body language/behavior. Gabrielle was very responsive to all of my questions, no matter what time of day I was asking them. It was also very helpful to have someone tell me exactly what to do and how long to leave at every stage - otherwise I would've second guessed myself the whole time and moved too fast or too slow. 2 months ago, I was afraid to leave Yogi for 5 seconds to go get a package in fear that he would pee all over my apartment. A couple days ago, I got dinner and drinks with a few friends for 3 hours and came home to Yogi napping by the door. I would never have thought we would make the progress that we did, but staying dedicated and trusting the process really worked for us! There's still work to do, but Gabrielle has given us a great foundation and I'm confident that Yogi and I have the skills we need to keep the training going.
