You can try a seperation anxiety exercise of leaving and coming back with in a few mintues--gradually increasing the time you are away. I did this with my pup and it helped a lot, he no longer has fits when we leave and usually goes right to sleep(which definitely was not the case before). I used the key phrase "I'll be back", shut the door and listened by a window to hear him, after a few mintues, during a moment when he was silent--I returned. I did that serveral times until I was away for 30+ mins.. Remember to only return inside when they are silent so they learn to associate your return with them being silent & that silence brings you back, not crying.


Also having them in their crate while you are at home, when they can see you, helps them not to associate being in the crate only at times when you are gone.
