Charlie Bear's Kennel Phobia

Charlie is my foster dog, who has kennel phobia and severe separation anxiety.

When I first brought Charlie home he could not handle being in the kennel for more than 2seconds with the door OPEN.
It has been 5 weeks since I brought Charlie home and today he stayed calm and quiet in the kennel for 5minutes, door closed. Yesterday was 10mins!!
With each little bit of progress I see a brighter future for Charlie.
This big block-head baby is teaching me so much about dog training and separation anxiety.

Edit to add: The shelter that owns Charlie has raised enough money to hire a Sep. Anx. specialist that will be helping me with Charlie. I couldn't be happier with the support and care from the shelter. Charlie is going to have the best care and support a dog could ask for.
