If you want to badly enough, you can help her. But it will take some study and repetitive training on your part to desensitize her little by little to your leaving the house. I would suggest that you search our YT Library for everything you can find on "Separation Anxiety" and how to deal with it. There are probably many more good articles on the web about it, too. Just read and read and when you begin to get the feel for what to do and how do it, start desensitizing her in short sessions. In reading the training manuals, you will learn a lot about yourself and how we react to our dogs and that will start to change as you understand yourself and her better. And then she will change as you work with her. But it takes some dedication and willingness and ability to set aside time for research and training but you can help her quietly accept the fact that you have to go out. She may not like it as Tibbe doesn't but she will learn how to deal with it and accept it.
