Start out crating for short periods of time, even when your at home , so she won't always think you are leaving for a long time. Slowly increase and vary the times you leave her. We always walk and then do some tricks before we put coco in.We make the crate accessible all the times and hide treats in it for her when she not using it. The crate is always super positive place when we put her in. Use a kong filled with special treats that we only give for crating . We used to give peanut-butter and bannana with coconut oil and freeze it. Then it gave her something to work on while we were gone.

Good luck!!
