Otherwise, sounds great. GOOD FOR YOU that you are working sooo hard to help your pup overcome his problem!!! I'm proud of you!

Well me too at first I was concerned about this because for be it meant it will reinforce the behavior but she explained that If I came back as soon as he starts crying he will understand that there is no point of crying since I'm back and that will help decrease his anxiety .
