I have been working on that with my dog. First thing to do is not make a big deal when you come and go. Just ignore the dog when you come home until the dog settles down. Then praise them. When you leave, simply say bye and leave. Start leaving for very short times, slowly increasing the time you are out. This will show the dog that you are coming back and there is nothing to worry about. The main thing is to stay consistent. This method will work but it takes time and patience. Use the same method for kennel training and your dog will go in the kennel when you are gone. Don't just throw her in a kennel as this will make it worse and maybe make her destructive. Getting another dog could solve the problem however it could make it worse and you could end up with 2 dogs with the anxiety.
